Overview
When Rally and Azure DevOps systems operate in isolation, development and product teams are caught in the friction of fragmented data, tedious manual processes, and misaligned priorities. This, in turn, leads to data loss, errors, and delayed delivery timelines.
OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM), an enterprise-grade solution seamlessly connects Rally and Azure DevOps through an automated, real-time, bidirectional synchronization of user stories, tasks, features, among others. It ensures 100% data accuracy, giving teams complete visibility into changes, deletions, histories, and attachments. This keeps all data contextual, providing both teams with up-to-date information, reducing manual work, and minimizing miscommunication. As a result, delivery timelines remain on track, enabling faster software releases.
Why OIM for Azure DevOps Rally Integration
Scale seamlessly across projects: OIM is built to handle growing business needs, regardless of the size of teams or projects. End systems operate seamlessly, and workflows remain uninterrupted.
Sync best-of-breed tools with ease: With extended integration support for over 60 ALM, DevOps, and ITSM tools, OIM also integrates home-grown or custom connectors.
Ensure unmatched control with centralized interface: Sync application data without coding expertise or manual effort.
Integrate beyond standard entities: Sync test results, defects, test cases, mentions, comments, attachments, links and more, including custom work items with complete history.
Keep project structures intact: When an entity is moved from Project A to Project B, OIM ensures it is not left behind as an orphan and that the transition remains smooth.
Ensure entity movement visibility: Changes like renaming an entity are reflected in the target system, keeping data aligned.
Gain multiple deployment options: OIM offers both on-premise and cloud deployment modes.
Ensure robust error handling: With built-in conflict resolution, real-time error detection, advanced failure recovery, and detailed logs, OIM ensures data integrity even during failures.
Popular Use Cases
