Absolutely.  That said, for some shops it is not necessary or feasible 
to go to a full fledged change management system.  Nor perhaps is it 
desirable.

For some it may be easier to start by doing version control.  Many will 
later move on to change management.  I suspect that many shops have some 
form of home-grown solution to the change management problem.  Part of 
this may be manual version control - that is, change comments go at the 
top and changed lines are tagged in the left- or right-hand comment 
area.  I think it would be great if those people had a simple and 
inexpensive way to automate some of that (very monotonous and 
error-prone) work.
