Hello, and welcome to the ALM migration and integration workshop
1
Let’s start with a few introductions...
2
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
We’ve implemented software productivity systems for hundreds of clients in all industries,worldwide.
4
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 ismaking sure IT and DevOpsmanagement can sleep at night, knowing they can meet governance requirements for reliability, security, and performance. We meet requirements such asclustering (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.

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.

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.

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

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

And if some tools are good, MORE tools are better!

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
For many of us, it’s a huge messBecause the tools aren’t integratedAnd that your programmers hate the toolsAnd it means errors and inefficiency.
12
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
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
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 — rmigrating some groups to reduce the tool count — or integration, which is making the tools play together.

ConnectALL turns this...
22
...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 ConnectALLautomatically manages the data and the processes.
23
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
ConnectALL removes the barriers by synchronizingdata between systems. Each user sees all the tasks and projects in the system that’s best for that user! ConnectALLconnects them all!
25
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
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
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
It's bulletproof: Built from day one using MuleSoft’s ESB, an enterprise-‐level infrastructure, ConnectALLmeets 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-‐premisemultitenancysecure connectionstraceability and an audit trailand all the rest that world-‐class CIOs demand.

29
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
In short: ConnectALLmakes your teams productive, lets your c-‐suite sleep at night and makes you into a hero!

EFI provides printer driver and print imaging software for printer OEMs such as Canon and HP.
32
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
We’ve also provided them with plug-‐ins, done installs, automated their build processes, helped them boost JIRA performance, and created customized tools.

You, Go2Group, and Leonardo daVinci—we make a great team, don't you think?
