Integrations speak to a larger trend in product development.
A growing number of companies are taking a best-of-breed approach to the software tool sets they use to help them plan, develop and test the products and software applications they’re building. The days of the massively expensive and heavyweight ALM/PLM suites are in question. The suites require big money, long learning curves, heavy IT administration – and ultimately get rejected by users and deliver questionable value back to the business.
Alternatively, a new breed of lightweight applications that offer the same power of the traditional tools, without all the headaches have emerged and are growing rapidly. Contour is a great example of this within the requirements management category – even within industries such as aerospace, government and medical devices that historically were deeply entrenched in traditional tools from IBM/Telelogic. The movement toward more open, collaborative and agile ways of working is driving the need for easy, flexible and Web-based tools. Read the recent article on how to transition from small to big in aerospace for an independent perspective of this trend.
Built on open standards, Contour is integration-ready. Currently, we offer out-of-the-box integrations with JIRA, Jive SBS and Enterprise Architect. We will continue to add new integrations based on the requests we get from customers. Let us know which integrations you’d like to see next. Let’s build great products!
