[ale] OT: Development practices

[Christopher Coleman]

We are having to do the same thing here. Making sure that all changes 
are placed in the change control system, documenting systems, use the 
same helpdesk software throughout the company, etc. Its mainly for 
systems and developement that deal with the financial side of the house. 
  But we are implementing changes through our IT departments.
