Our strategic goal is to provide the integrations as a service from the cloud in the future.
In the first step, we are developing a standardized and configurable integration solution based on OpenPDM between the PLM and QMS solutions from cloud PLM pioneer Arena and the ALM solutions Jira from Atlassian. Arena has been part of PTC since the beginning of 2021. Jira is one of the leading application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions for planning, tracking, and release management in the software development process.
The integration between Arena and Jira will have a predefined feature set so that it can be deployed with few configuration steps. For example, it supports the synchronization of issues or error messages created in Jira to Arena. There, a corresponding ticket is automatically created and assigned to an employee for processing. If the issue changes in Jira, the corresponding ticket is updated in Arena.
The OpenPDM platform, which controls the synchronization process and synchronizes the data, is implemented together with the two connectors in the cloud infrastructure of AWS. In the coming months, we will add more standard integrations to our iPaaS offering.
