ConnectALL, An Orasi Company

Integrating Azure DevOps and TFS Teams

Unify your processes, people, and a broad range of DevOps tooling and CRM applications with ConnectALL, an enterprise-class integration solution that accelerates software development and delivery and enhances collaboration.

Everyone in your IT organization can continue to work in the tools or systems they choose, while development, agile, or DevOps teams work in Azure DevOps and/or TFS. No more copying and pasting between systems. No more emails to communicate details between teams. The ConnectALL Integration Platform enables organizations to seamlessly connect a wide variety of end points, and synchronize data, workflow, and requirements — automatically!

Integration Overview

Focusing on each area in the software delivery lifecycle from planning, development and release, all the way to production can lead to tool silos resulting in disconnected tools, workflows, processes, and ultimately people! With ConnectALL Integration Platform, integrating these value streams and creating automated workflows and processes will give you greater visibility, increased efficiencies, and value delivery at speed.

ConnectALL supports integration for Azure DevOps and TFS through its Microsoft Common Adapter. It lets you manage your development in collaboration with quality, ITSM, and other DevOps teams. Every team can work on applications of their choice and still be able to collaborate efforts. When DevOps tools like Jira, ServiceNow, Micro Focus ALM, Salesforce, BMC Remedy, Microsoft product suite, and other IBM Rational tools are integrated with VSTS or TFS, all information related to development and issue tracking flow bi-directionally between teams — providing end-to-end traceability in software delivery.

ConnectALL integrates best-of-breed application lifecycle management and DevOps tools using a “configuration, not coding” approach that dramatically simplifies application integration projects — you’re up and running in a few hours, cutting integration costs by 90%.
