Press Release Body = Serena Software Enhances Integration Between Mainframe and
Distributed Change Governance Solutions


Now Mainframe Application Developers Can Achieve Process and Issue Management Via
Web Browsers to Control Change Across the Enterprise

Bangalore, December 13th, 2006 - Serena Software, Inc., the Change GovernanceT
leader, today announced a newly upgraded integration between its best-of-breed
solutions for mainframe application development and Web-based process control and
enforcement. This new integration between Serena® ChangeMan® ZMF 5.6 and Serena
TeamTrack® 6.6 allows users to improve the quality, predictability, and control of
the software development process, reduce risks and costs through more efficient
process management, and create an audit trail for easier regulatory compliance.

Companies are increasingly working in heterogeneous environments and, until now,
lacked visibility between their mainframe and distributed application development
environments. By integrating mainframe and distributed application lifecycle
management, Serena customers can visualize the impact of changes before they take
place, orchestrate the optimal implementation of those changes, and enforce best
practice lifecycle processes across all development activities, regardless of
platform or location.

"This integration between ChangeMan ZMF and TeamTrack is yet another example of
Serena's commitment to fostering innovation in the mainframe arena and delivering
solutions that efficiently, consistently, and successfully control change across the
enterprise," said Matt DiMaria, senior vice president of marketing, Serena. "Our 25
years of mainframe experience make Serena uniquely qualified to help enterprises
integrate and automate change processes, bridge silos of change across their
organizations, and, ultimately, transform change into strategic business advantage
in the face of increased regulatory demands, competitive pressures and
globalization."

ChangeMan ZMF 5.6 is Serena's comprehensive and fully integrated solution for
software change management on the mainframe. Serena TeamTrack 6.6 is the latest
version of Serena's secure and highly configurable process and issue management
solution that maps, tracks, and enforces business processes down to the task level.
Together, these solutions provide visibility into the entire application development
landscape, keeping everyone on the path to better software, improved business
practices, increased profitability, and competitive advantages.

Enhancements to this new interface include:

. Better collaboration and project quality - This new interface provides the
ability to execute a corresponding transition in TeamTrack upon ZMF promotion for
better collaboration between mainframe developers and counterparts in other parts of
the organization, such as developers on distributed systems and operations
specialists, resulting in better project quality. Plus, non-technical personnel (in
management, for example) now have greater visibility into their mainframe
application development projects.

. Reduced costs and risk - With tighter integration between ChangeMan ZMF
and TeamTrack, package creation is faster and simpler than ever before, while
ensuring that standard processes are enforced across the enterprise to lower risk
and reduce costs. Customers now have the ability to create packages in ZMF and have
an item automatically generated in TeamTrack that is linked to that ZMF package.
The integration now coordinates promotion events between ChangeMan ZMF and
TeamTrack. When ZMF receives a promotion request, ZMF informs TeamTrack of the
request and information about the promotion is passed to TeamTrack, including
current promotion level, target promotion level, and highest promotion level.

. Open standards for better adaptability and integrations - The new
interface has adopted standards defined in the Eclipse Application Lifecycle
Framework (ALF) project to notify ALF of important events within the application
lifecycle. With this new version ZMF can inform ALF of process results from the ZMF
lifecycle such as package audit, freeze, and promotion. By adopting ALF eventing
standards, Serena is demonstrating commitment to open standards that allow customers
and partners to integrate the myriad tools so often present in ALM organizations.
