Room for Improvement
Not now, but we faced lots of problem with the internal framework, which caused CORBA (common object request business architecture) errors and DB locks. It took quite some time for the support team to resolve it that affected the productivity of the associates.
Most of these problems have been handled in the newer versions of Database and Manhattan Integration framework.
