Sysaid is a fine solution, as many people have said.
And, if you hunt down an out-of-print book (I believe it was Outlook 2003 for

developed using public folders and the Outlook Object Model.

We do the same thing using Sysaid. We create a service request from
one SA to another with details of change, cataloged in a category
specifically for changes vetted by a second SA, and then performed and
