Also new in Version 6 is the addition of IBM DB2 Universal Database as an underlying data management platform for storing information within TeamTrack. Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases were supported previously.TeamTrack 6 is the first product to be delivered under the Serena Application Framework for Enterprises (SAFE), a framework for application lifecycle management and process-to-process integration.
