Jan-Doeke,
Configuration Management systems are most often non trivial. I have been
working on a military CM/DM system for almost a year. In basic terms,
configuration management is little more than change management. How complex
it gets is solely dependent on what you're trying to manage, and how
pedantic you want to be about things like change and version control,
authorities and signoffs, audit trails, task management, security and access
control, and so on.

I don't know of any examples. Someone else may know of some. In any case,
this topic is a little too big to cover in its entirety here, but if you
have specific questions, we're more than happy to answer them, or give you
some advice or guidance. What would you like to know?
