1. Hello,
and
welcome
to
the
ALM
migration
and
integration
workshop
1

2. Let’s
start
with
a
few
introductions...
2

3. Go2Group
has
been
solving
complex
issues
for 13
years.
We
specialize
in
complex
integrations
and
migrations
and
are
experts
in
all
the
leading
solutions.
3

4. We’ve
implemented
software
productivity
systems
for
hundreds
of
clients
in
all
industries,worldwide.
4

5. The
company
has
both
products
and
services
in
four
categories.
First
is
our
ALM
practice
and
certified partnerships
with
companies
like
Atlassian,
HP,
IBM,
Microsoft,
Perforce,
and
many
more.
In
particular,
we’re
an
Atlassian
Enterprise
and
Platinum
Expert,
we
are
the
world’s
largest
reseller
of
Atlassian
development
tools
and
were
the
first
Atlassian
partner
in
North
America
and
Japan.
We
specialize
in
integration,
with
products
and
services
that
make
multiple
ALM
systems
act
as
one.
Your
teams
can
use
the
systems
they
like
– or
migrate.
Either
way,
our
products
and
services
connect
teams
and
automatically
manage
the
data
and
the
processes.
For the
enterprise,
our
focus
is making
sure
IT
and
DevOpsmanagement
can
sleep
at
night,
knowing
they
can
meet
governance
requirements
for
reliability,
security,
and
performance.
We
meet
requirements
such
as
clustering
(including
load
sharing
and
failover),
multiple
server
support,
cloud
or
on-­‐
premise,
multitenancy,
secure
connections,
traceability
and
an
audit
trail
-­‐-­‐ and
all
the
rest
that
world-­‐class
CIOs
demand.
We
add high
availability,
multitenancy,
security,
test
management,
audit
controls
to
the
ALM
tools
and
systems, such
as
Git,
that
clients are
already
using.
FInally,
we
specialize
in
government
with
clients
throughout
the
federal
government.
We
are
GSA listed,
we provide
gov hosting
and
we
help agencies
meet
the
newest
security
requirements
such
as
CAC/PIV.

6. Remember
when
programmers
were
just
programmers? Maybe
you
remember
paper
tape
and
punch
cards,
maybe
not,
but
you
surely
remember
a
time
when
software
engineers
were
wizards,responsible
for
making
their
own
code
work.

7. But
then,
programmers
gave
way
to
teams of
developers
and
teams
grew.
Mistakes
were
made,
and
systems
and
processes
were
instituted
to
prevent
errors.
It
became
harder
to
communicate,
so
systems
were
added
to
allow
better
collaboration.
Productivity
was
lost
and
more
systems
were
added
to
improve
productivity.
Yipe!
Things
were
getting
complicated.

8. But
wait!
There’s
more!
Government.
Finance.
Management
reviews.
Regulations.
Audits.Program
management.
Tracking
and
reporting.
Complexity.

9. But you
know,
there
is
no
technology
problem
that
can’t
be
fixed
with
more
technology!!
So
industry
began
to
develop
tools.

10. And
if
some
tools
are
good,
MOREtools
are
better!

11. Soon
everyone
had
productivity
tools!
So
you
might
imagine
a
company
where
sales
and
service
and
management
are
using
Salesforce.
Meanwhile,
R&D
is
big
on
JIRA
and
Perforce.
QA
is
using
HP
QC
and
test
is
using
a
different
instance
of
HP
QC.
The
company
acquired
another
firm
last
year
and
they
were
using
the
IBM
suite
— except
for
their
service
guys,
who
have
a
rogue
installation
of
JIRA.
Before
long,
all
the
productivity
tools
are
getting
in
the
way
of
productivity.
Does
this
look
familiar? For
many
of
our
clients,
this
was
the
story
of
their
life
— until
Go2Group!
11

12. For
many
of
us,
it’s
a
huge
mess
Because
the
tools
aren’t
integrated
And
that
your
programmers
hate
the
tools
And
it
means
errors
and
inefficiency.
12

13. We
see
a
common
theme,
and
I’ll
bet
you
hear
it
too:
These
complex
systems
are
making
people
crazy!
Well,
it
makes
us
crazy,
too!
So,
we
decided
to
do
something
about
it!
13

14. How
many
have
multiple
ALM
— e.g.
Perforce,
HP,
IBM,
service
desk,
Atlassian,
Microsoft,
salesforce.com or
other
CRM,
reporting
tools,
IBM,
Git?
How
many
have
three
or
more
systems
in-­‐house?
Four
or
more?
Five
or
more?
How
many
have
multiple
locations?
14

15. So
what
can
you
do?
You
can
make
everyone
use
one,integrated
toolset.
But
the
problem
is,
there
is
no
such
tools
and
even
if
there
were,
what
if
another
group
has
specialized
needs?
Or
just
prefers
something
else?
What
if
you
acquire
a
company?
So
the
better
answers
are
migration
— rmigratingsome
groups
to
reduce
the
tool
count
— or
integration,
which
is
making
the
tools
play
together.

22. ConnectALLturns
this...
22

23. ...into
this!
It
functions
the
way
a
router
does,
intelligently
moving
data
between
systems.
ConnectALLdoesn’t
replace
the
systems
that
are
working
for
you
— it
connects
them!
Users
continue
to
operate
with
the
systems
that
they
choose
while
ConnectALL
automatically
manages
the
data
and
the
processes.
23

24. Likewise
for
the
data.
Because
ALM
systems
don't
talk
to
each
other or
share
data,
users
can’t
see
or
change
items in
systems
they
don't
use.
Some
users
are
forced
to
access
multiple
systems
over
and
over
again.
24

25. ConnectALLremoves
the
barriers
by
synchronizingdata
between
systems.
Each
user
sees
all
the
tasks
and
projects
in
the
system
that’s
best
for
that
user!
ConnectALL
connects
them
all!
25

26. In
this
example,
the
company is managing
requirements
with
IBM’s
DOORS.Its
running
test
cases
on
HP
QC.
It’s
using
JIRA
over
in
R&D
and
HP
QC
is
managing
defects.
The
company
is
cutting
and
pasting
day
in
and
day
out,
trying
to
keep
these
systems
in
sync.
They’re
seeing
errors
and
delays.
So
they
install
ConnectALL and
all
this
is
automatic
– fast,
efficient,
and
without
mistakes.
Just
like
that.
26

27. Another
example.
In
this
case,
some
of
the
teams
are
here
in
San
Francisco
and
some
are
in,
say,
India.
The
India
team
is
working
while
we’re
asleep
so
there
is
no
one
to
call
if
their
systems
don't
match
ours!
We
lose
a
whole
day
every
time
there
is
a
mistake!
ConnectALLmakes
it
automatic
and
flawless.
27

28. The
ConnectALLALM
Router
eliminates
errors
and
delays
in
ALM
systems
by
making
workflow
complexities
invisible.
It
connects
the
systems
already
in
use,
automatically.
Each
ALM
team
works
with
the
best
system
for
their
needs
and
ConnectALLmakes
all
the
systems
work
together,
without
manual
operations.
It
is
infinitely
configurable
to
work
the
way the
company’s
staff
works,
with
their
systems,
and
their processes.
28

29. It's
bulletproof:
Built
from
day
one using
MuleSoft’s ESB,
an
enterprise-­‐level
infrastructure,
ConnectALL meets
stringent
corporate
governance
needs.
It
offers
world-­‐class
performance,
security,
reliability,
and
worldwide
connectivity.
ConnectALL is
the
only
solution
that
offers:
clustering
(including
load
sharing
and
failover)
multiple
server
support,
cloud
or
on-­‐premise
multitenancy
secure
connections
traceabilityand
an
audit
trail
and
all
the
rest
that
world-­‐class
CIOs
demand.
{Full

30. We
make
it
as easy
to
buy
as
it
is
to
use.
The
pricing
is
on
our
website
and
you
can
buy
online.
It’s
straightforward:
You
decide
what
applications
you
want
to
connect
and
there
you
go
— no
limit
on
users
or
projects,
meaning
you
don't
run
out
of
licenses
at
critical
times.
((includes
unlimited services
to
install.
Custom
needs
are
available.))
30

31. In
short:
ConnectALLmakes
your teams
productive,
lets
your
c-­‐suite
sleep
at
night
and
makes
you
into
a
hero!

33. They
were
using
JIRA
and
salesforce.com to
work
with
customers.
Internally,
they
used
Seapine and
a
second
instance
of
JIRA
along
with
Microsoft
Project
Server,
SAP,
and
Siebel.
They
were
going
crazy
keeping
the
systems
in
sync.
We
solved
this
with
ConnectALLand
some
services.
33

34. We’ve
also
provided
them
with
plug-­‐ins,
doneinstalls,
automated
their
build
processes,
helped
them
boost
JIRA
performance,
and
created
customized
tools.
