David,

First rule of business, it doesn't matter how much you've already
spent, the only question is how much more are you going to spend for
what you're going to get.

How much do the problems with your home grown tool cost you?
Does it support IFS objects like Java or HTML source, how much to add that?
Can you spend less and get more by buying a vendor package?

In general, our >home made tool has few problems, but needs a lot of manual interventions before being able to deploy and is often a little complicated. Sometimes there are failures, eg, a developper forgot to indicate one of the workfiles he'd modified and an rpg that used it didn't get compiled. This was not realised until runtime! I am thinking rather that CMS is not the way for us to go given that we already have a considerable investment in our own tool.
