Overview
Modern product development involves complex hardware and software ecosystems, making integration between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) essential. Teams need a seamless digital thread for traceability, audit compliance, and collaboration across silos.
OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM) establishes this digital thread by synchronizing Aras Innovator and Azure DevOps (TFS and Cloud). OIM’s enterprise-grade, API-based integration ensures products move from concept to release with full transparency and zero manual rework, creating faster innovation cycles for regulated industries.

Why choose OIM for Aras and Azure DevOps Integration?
Bidirectional sync: OpsHub syncs all Aras System Item Types and all Custom Item Types (excluding Relationship and Core types) with corresponding work items in Azure DevOps, ensuring teams always have up-to-date information.
Context-rich synchronization: Sync comments, attachments, links, relationships, inline content, mentions, status changes and more—so no detail gets lost.
No-code configuration: Configure integrations through an intuitive GUI interface without writing a single line of code. Adapt integration rules, mappings, and workflows as business needs evolve. OIM sits outside systems and work through native APIs unlike tool plugins. Scale from one integration to thousands of projects without performance degradation.
Digital thread for compliance: Maintain end-to-end traceability from requirements and change requests to tests and releases across PLM and ALM systems—critical for ISO, FDA, and DO-178C compliance.
Avoid orphan records: OpsHub maintains data integrity, even when issue types or projects change, something most point-to-point tools struggle with.
