About the AM IT Overview
This document is designed to answer pre-implementation questions about the TeamMate
AMproduct suite. It is written for IT departments who are responsible for implementing the
TeamMate suite and need answers to specific questions and a high level overview before beginning
the process. It is recommended to engage the IT Department before installing the TeamMate suite of
applications. The complete implementation and installation guides for the suite are also available
upon request.
TeamMate AM is a suite of products combining both desktop and web-based technologies. The
combined suite allows auditors to identify, schedule, document, report, and track time and expenses
on audits using a modular approach. Each module can be installed and used independently with
individual databases. However, when the modules are used together with the same database, the
applications can interact and automate the entire audit workflow. It is highly recommended that the
entire suite be installed with the assistance of the organization's IT department. The following is a list
of the applications that comprise the TeamMate suite.

Product Workflow
The diagram below outlines the recommend auditing workflow that is supported by the suite of
applications.

Recommended TeamMate Workflow

NOTE: Applications can be installed and/or used independently, but would

lack data interoperability.

AM IT Overview 6
Suite Architecture & Physical Tiers
The TeamMate AM suite is very configurable and will adapt to most IT environments. The standard
configuration (in black below) is to have client computers, a web server, and a database server.
Optional configurations include distributed MS Access databases (green), regional replication server
(blue), and Citrix XenApp / MS Terminal Services (purple). We recommend the same database be
used by all applications.

AM IT Overview 7
System Requirements
This section lists the minimum hardware and software requirements for each of the tiers listed above.

Database Server Requirements

A database server is required for the TeamMate web applications and is recommended for the
desktop applications. When using a centralized database, the applications can exchange information
between each other and reporting capabilities are enhanced.

NOTE: Access is only supported as a centralized database for clients using

EWP only.

NOTE: Oracle is no longer supported as of TeamMate version 10.4.

Supported versions:

l SQL Server 2016 and 2016 SP1 Standard and Enterprise Editions
l SQL Server 2014, 2014 SP1 and SP2 Standard and Enterprise Editions
l SQL Server 2012, 2012 SP1, SP2, SP3 Standard and Enterprise Editions
l SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 and SP3
l SQL Server 2008 SP4
l SQL Server Express 2012
l SQL Server Express 2008 R2
o See Section 2.1 for more information

The database server specifications will vary based on the needs and number of users in the
organization. Example database server specifications for three different types of organizations are
provided below.

* These are the minimum recommended values to ensure usable performance.

** Hard drive should be large enough to accommodate anticipated database growth.

Further environmental requirements for database servers:

l Database compatibility mode must be set to the level of the server with a minimum of SQL
2008.
l Database server operating system can be 32-bit or 64-bit.
l All specifications are based on Windows Server 2008 or higher.
l The installed database will be approximately 30 MB for MS SQL Server. The anticipated
growth will vary greatly based on which modules of the TeamMate suite are used, the number
of files attached to each audit, and the size/quality of scanned images. However, a typical
implementation can range from 25-100 MB per project.
l For small departments, the database and web server components can be shared on the same
machine.
l TeamMate AM supports AlwaysOn with SQL Server 2016. This method can be used with syn-
chronous, asynchronous, and Failover Clustering.
l A virtualized database server may differ in performance from a comparable physical imple-
mentation, and the implications of these differences should be considered.
l Native SQL Server Encryption can be used if additional security is needed; however Microsoft
estimates a performance hit when in use (see Section 5.5 for details).
l Oracle is no longer a supported database platform after the release of 10.4. There are tools
available to migrate from Oracle to SQL Server.
l The database and the SQL instance must have the same collation (SQL_Latin1_
General_CP1_CI_AS). Having the database and/or the SQL instance using a different col-
lation than specified is not supported.

AM IT Overview 9
Web Server Requirements
A web server is required for TeamCentral, TeamSchedule Web, TeamTEC, and TeamRisk Web. All
web server applications will work in a load balanced / server farm environment.
Supported versions:

l Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 7, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 10

Running on:

l Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, SP2, SP3

l Windows Server 2012
l Windows Server 2012 R2
l Windows Server 2016

NOTE: Apache or other UNIX / Linux web servers are NOT supported.

Further environmental requirements for web servers:

l The TeamMate web applications will run on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
l The application will run in the bit mode native to the operating system bit level. Example: In a
32-bit installation TeamCentral will run as a 32-bit application. In a 64-bit installation TeamCen-
tral will run in the IIS native mode so if IIS is set to 32-bit TeamCentral will run in 32-bit mode.
Otherwise TeamCentral would run as a 64-bit application.

IT Overview 10
 l The TeamMate web applications CANNOT be installed on a domain controller. See Section
15.5 for more information.
l The application will take about 1 GB installed on the web server. As this is static program files,
no additional space on the web server would be required.
l For small departments, the database and web server components can be shared on the same
machine; however, it is recommended to split these items across different machines.
l Unless noted, it is assumed that the server has the latest patches and updates from Microsoft.
l The following items are required to be on the web server:
o MDAC 2.8.1 (will be installed during suite installation if not previously installed)
o Windows Installer 3.0 or higher
o .NET Framework 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 (the EXE will download and install 4.6.1, if not present)
o Microsoft Access Database Engine 32-bit/64-bit (the EXE will install the version based on
the bit-level of the OS)

Other l The TeamMate suite can run from an application server like Citrix
Considerations XenApp or Microsoft Windows RemoteApp (MS Terminal Services). This
scenario is optional. VDI is also supported in scenarios presenting an
entire desktop to users including the TeamMate applications.

AM IT Overview 13
File Server Requirements (Optional)
A file server is an optional component and not recommended for most environments; however, it can
be used to store TeamEWP audit projects when using the distributed model. The recommended
environment is to have all projects stored in the database server (centralized model). This does not
need to be a dedicated server.

Processor 1 x 2.0 GHz or greater

Memory 512 MB Ram
Hard drive 20 GB or greater (refer to Section 2.10 for project sizing requirements)
Software MS Windows 2008 Server or higher is recommended. However, some other
operating systems that allow file sharing (for example, workgroups and samba) are
supported. Distributed File Systems (DFS) are NOT supported.

Terminal / Citrix Server Requirements

For Terminal / Citrix server sizing, it is recommended to follow Microsofts Guidelines for resource
allocation according to normal business applications.
www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/search.aspx?q=terminal+server+sizing+guide
The memory usage will be larger than the Microsoft recommendations. TeamEWP is the most used
application and typically allocates between 100 and 200 MB of ram per instance. The processor
usage will vary based on hardware and usage scenarios.
The table below can be used as a reference to calculate the required resources.

1. Have a user login and test the application (single user only). Obtain the processor and memory
utilization for this user.
2. Enter the values in the table below to determine the required resources for the server.

Note Resources Values

A 1 User Memory Utilization Check Perf Mon - %
B 1 User Processor Utilization Check Perf Mon - %
C Total Number of Simultaneous Users From Client
D Total Memory Utilization A * C (should be between 60 and 80)
E Total Processor Utilization B * C (should be between 60 and 80)

AM IT Overview 14
Additional Notes:

l Memory is easier to determine how much needs to be added. Just change the total memory in
the system to get the memory utilization (D) below the 80 percent mark.
l Processor Utilization is more difficult to determine as the other hardware in the system (system
board, disk speed, etc.) affect processor utilization.
l If working entirely from the application server, the same version of Microsoft Office and Adobe
Reader must also be installed.
l The Terminal/Citrix Server CANNOT also be the Web Server. See Section 15.7 for more
information.

Installation Overview
This section outlines the recommended steps to install the TeamMate Suite for a new organization.
Further details can be found in the AM Installation and Technical Configuration Guide. These
installation steps will require coordination between the IT web server administrators, IT database
administrators, and the audit team leaders responsible for the implementation of the TeamMate
suite.

To install the TeamMate Suite for a new organization:

1. Create and configure a Test Environment. As an industry best practice, it is recommended to

first create an environment where a few select users can test both the desktop and server
applications. This will provide an opportunity to ensure the applications work within the envir-
onment and will give a few users an opportunity to get familiar with the various features of the
product. This environment should be maintained for future testing of upgrades and patches,
and can also be used to train end users. The various options required within the suite can also
be set up and evaluated for future use in the Production environment.
2. Create Templates, TeamStores, reports and global options. This step will be performed by
the audit team leader and the TeamMate Implementation Services team. Having these tem-
plates and stores available to the team before the product is rolled out completely will ensure a
successful implementation.
3. Create a Production Environment. Create a new Production Environment that duplicates the
Test Environment created earlier.
4. Develop a client rollout strategy. There are several options to roll out the client portion of the
suite to all of the users. Most large organizations use 'push' technologies that will simply push
down and launch the MSI. Other options for installation include setting up batch files or using
scripts. Be sure to refer to the AM Installation and Technical Configuration Guide, which con-
tains information on how to install the desktop modules of the suite. Make sure to include con-
figuration files (i.e. DBConnect.tmc, Service.config, and TMReg.ini) with the rollout. Also
consider any other files necessary to work offline if that is a requirement.
5. Rollout the client software. Implement the rollout strategy defined above and allow users
access to the software.
6. Provide training and best practices. Finally, proper training and best practices should be
provided so the users can get the most from the software.

NOTE: Users on TeamMate AM 8.2 must first convert the global database
and any distributed projects using 10.2, and then to the current version.
Conversion from 9.0.1 and higher is built into the current release.

AM IT Overview 18
 Ref # Question Answer
1.6 Are there any While there are no ActiveX controls used in the TeamMate Suite,
ActiveX controls or Active X controls must be enabled for TeamEWP to be used. For
COM components example, the link code uses a technology called Object Linking and
utilized? Embedding (OLE). That technology is one of a list of technologies
that Microsoft grouped together under the name of ActiveX.
The more specific term ActiveX Control defines a control that is
dynamically loaded by IE from the Internet on demand when it is
found in a webpage.
Since the IE settings do not separate the ActiveX technologies (i.e.
OLE) from the ActiveX controls, this setting must be turned on.
The primary security reason for blocking ActiveX Controls is that
anything that is dynamically loaded from the Internet could pose a
risk, but the TeamMate code is not dynamically downloaded; it is
installed by the EWP install process.
WCF utilizes COM to communicate with Microsoft Office and some
other internal utilities.
There are no desktop ActiveX controls (or installation) required to
use any of the web applications.

desktop is in the creation of temporary XML files used to create
reports for TeamEWP (360 Reporting). An example of how they
are used on the web server includes the reports generated for

l Create Project and Create Project Template
These web services are automatically installed when the web
server installation is completed.

Databases and Storage

Ref # Question Answer
2.1 What database All TeamMate applications work with MS SQL Server; see Database
platforms are Server Requirements for supported versions. MS SQL Server
supported? Express is also supported; however, it is not recommended for most
situations because of restrictions (i.e. memory and database size)
placed on it by Microsoft. See link below for details.
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
MS Access is also supported when TeamEWP Projects are stored
on a local computer with either the replication or the distributed
model.
2.2 Which The recommended configuration is to have all data for all modules
applications use stored on a centralized database server (MS SQL). An optional

database? authentication information is encrypted.
A utility is provided to create these connection files. They can also be
created within TeamRisk, TeamSchedule, TeamStore, and
TeamAdmin.
In the optional distributed model, TeamEWP connects to the MS
Access databases through a .TM information file. The .TM files
contain the connection information necessary to access the
databases located in subfolders within the parent folder. This
process is done via TeamMate Explorer.
2.5 How many user None, if using integrated authentication (MS SQL Server only). If

2.10 How much The installed database will be approximately 30 MB for MS SQL
space is Server. The anticipated growth will vary greatly based on which
required? modules of the TeamMate suite are used, the number of files
attached to each audit, and the size/quality of scanned images.
Photo quality images (300+ dpi, color) can be many times larger than
evidence quality images (150 dpi, black & white).
A typical implementation can be 25-100 MB per project; however,
projects can range from 5 MB to over 500 MB. Another estimate is 1
GB per user; this could be used for an initial estimate for capacity
planning.

Replication
Ref # Question Answer
4.1 Is replication TeamEWP has an internally managed check-out and check-in
supported? process allowing the user to select and replicate specific areas of a
project or an entire project. These replicas can be downloaded
directly to the local machine or a transport file can be created and
saved to a temporary device (e.g., USB drive) or emailed to another
user. Another option is to replicate to a regional replica server (MS
SQL).
While working on a replica, the system maintains a transaction log
which is processed during the merge with the master. There is one
unique master project with any number of replicas created by the
users. There is a limit of 3 levels for multi-tier replication scenario.
TeamEWP also has a feature where data is synchronized between
the database server and the local machine.

5.3 How are TeamMate utilizes the SHA-1 cryptographic hash function to create

protected within passwords. The actual password is first seeded and then converted
the TeamMate to the resulting SHA-1 hash value and stored in the database. The
Suite? additional seed provides additional protection vs. using SHA-1 only.
When the user enters their password to login to the application, that
password is run through the SHA-1 algorithm (again with an
additional seed) and then the application compares this value with
the value in the database without the application knowing the actual
password. If the hashed values match, the user is granted access.
If there are concerns then it is recommended to use the Windows
Authentication model, available for all modules, in which user
passwords are not stored in the database.
SHA-256 cryptographic hash functions are used for passwords for
the four compressed file types associated with TeamEWP (backups,
replica transport, update transport, and work papers)*.
Database passwords are encrypted using AES encryption stored in
the XML connection files.
5.4 Are the TeamMate When using a MS Access database for TeamEWP or TeamStore,

When using MS SQL Server for the suite of applications, the
databases are deliberately not encrypted in order to allow

5.5 What additional There are two main types of data stored in the TeamMate suite file

should be File based databases either reside on an end-users computer or on
considered? a file share in the organizations data center. TeamMate protects this
data by applying database level password protection. In addition,
many organizations have a standard policy of encrypting a
computers entire hard drive with third party software. When file
based databases reside on an end-users computer, this protection
extends to the TeamMate data.
Server based databases (MS SQL Server) are typically centralized
within an organizations data center and access to these databases
are restricted to the minimum number of people needed to
administer the database. TeamMate utilizes the authentication and
authorization models of these databases to control access to the
database. However, if additional security is needed, TeamMate
supports native SQL Server encryption.
5.6 Is it possible for Yes, it is theoretically possible for a malicious person to crack the
someone to crack encryption used on MS Access databases and obtain access to the

TLS/SSL, SQL Encryption, and hard drive encryption, should be
considered to mitigate any further security concerns.
5.7 How can we There are several ways in which data can be secured while in
ensure our data is transit, either between servers or from a web server to the client
securely browser. For the desktop applications accessing data on the
transmitted across network, TeamMate recommends the use of "Enhanced Services
a WAN for both the Security", which provides additional encryption on data between the
web and client client and TeamMate web services so that any data transmitted
applications? between servers (or between a server and a client) would be
encrypted.
Another option for database traffic over the network is to establish a
trusted connection. For the web server, it is recommended that
TLS/SSL be used so that all web traffic is encrypted.
5.8 How are database Database connections to the central application data is via a

users.
TeamMate also supports an enhanced level of security for

the standard configuration for the US Government Configuration
Baseline (USGCB).
The drive behind the United States Government Configuration
Baseline (USGCB) is to develop security configuration baselines for
products derived from Information Technology that are deployed to
the various federal agencies. This baseline arrived from the Federal
Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) mandate. This process of
developing, vetting, and providing baseline configurations settings
was first described in a March 2007 memorandum from OMB to the
various Federal agencies and department leaders, as well as a
corresponding memorandum from OMB to the various Federal
agencies and department Chief Information Officers (CIO).

virtual machines running on the VM Host.
Additionally, if TeamMate will be in production in a virtual machine, it
needs to be in a standard IT production environment, e.g., continued
uptime, failover support, backups, etc. Desktop computers running
virtual machines for server applications are not supported.
VDI technologies are also supported provided that a desktop with
TeamMate applications are presented to the user. It is the
responsibility of the customer to provide the correct licensing model of
Microsoft Office to support the VDI environment.

Authentication and Passwords
Ref # Question Answer
9.1 What All modules support Windows Authentication, which acts as a single
authentication sign-on. The application compares the users Windows domain login
model is used? to the account name stored in the TeamMate database. If
authenticated, the user is allowed into the application or TeamEWP
audit project. Windows Authentication also works with cached
domain accounts.
If Windows Authentication is not used, all modules also support
"basic" or "forms" authentication, which stores the username and
password in the database in an encrypted format. If for any reason a
user cannot authenticate via Windows Authentication (e.g., working
on a TeamEWP replica on a home computer), the desktop
applications will revert back to basic authentication requiring the user
to manually login with their username and password.
In addition, all the web applications support LDAP.
9.2 What are the If Windows Authentication is not used, by default passwords must be
password at least 6 characters. Users may set custom rules to govern
restrictions or password complexity in TeamAdmin. These rules may include a

Sending Data to TeamCentral

Ref # Question Answer
10.1 How is data sent This is not needed if using the recommended centralized database
from TeamEWP to model.
the TeamCentral If using the distributed model, there are 3 methods for sending
application? data:
1. Sending directly to a web service running on the web server.
This method sends a stream of XML data and is then pro-
cessed on the web server and then inserted into the data-
base using a transaction. This is the recommended method.
2. Sending directly to a database via a local database con-
nection. This utilizes the applications Data Access Layer
(DAL) based on ADO.NET technology. This is essentially the
same processing as the web service but the processing is
occurring on the desktop machine.
3. Sending indirectly via a persistent XML file that can then be
imported into TeamCentral via the administration section.
Again, this is very similar to step 1, just done in two distinct
phases.
