Here at Options we have spent years and years developing and improving our IT procedures, none more so than those associated with change management. Options requires that every network, firewall and routing change is rigorously documented, cross checked and only then applied by a senior engineer, other than the author. Similar cross check controls and documentation procedures are in place for all other Options systems procedures, especially for changes to production equipment and services.
