Abstract
A technique electronically controls commitment of a change to stored information. The technique involves accessing a reviewer database to ascertain a set of reviewers assigned to review proposed changes to the stored information. The technique further involves electronically notifying the set of reviewers to review a particular proposed change to the stored information after the set of reviewers is ascertained. Each reviewer is able to electronically approve or reject the particular proposed change to the stored information. The technique further involves (i) electronically preventing commitment of the particular proposed change to the stored information while less than a predefined number of electronic approvals has been received from the set of reviewers and (ii) electronically enabling commitment of the particular proposed change to the stored information upon receipt of the predefined number of electronic approvals from the set of reviewers.
