BANGALORE

DECEMBER 13, 2006

Serena Software today announced a newly upgraded integration between 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 efficient process
management, and create an audit trail for easier regulatory compliance.

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, a Serena statement said.

Matt DiMaria, Senior VP - Marketing, Serena, said, "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 transform change into business advantage in the face of
increased regulatory demands, competitive pressures and globalization."

ChangeMan ZMF 5.6 is Serena's fully integrated solution for software change
management on the mainframe. Serena TeamTrack 6.6 is the latest version of
Serena's secure and 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, profitability and competitive advantages.
