Businesses benefit from flexibility
With OSLC’s open and scenario-based approach, businesses benefit from
the ability to tie disparate tools together. This collaborative
approach gives our consultants the flexibility to make lifecycle tool
choices based on specific client project demands.

Integrations for less
The Eclipse Mylyn project integrates tasks from more than thirty
independent desktop and web products. Keeping up with that sometimes
borders on the insane. OSLC offers us a way forward for doing these
integrations in a simpler and cheaper way.

OSLC vision
With OSLC, we’re applying best practices in the Internet to the area
of lifecycle tools, essentially transforming lifecycle resources into
“hyper-data”, just like hypertext enables fully connected, flexible
content.

Data producers and consumers both win
So there’s a big business benefit to both the producers and the
consumers of the OSLC APIs. The producers get to create a standard API
that a variety of tools can build on and can create high—very high
quality integrations for, whether its integrations of the IDE or
integrations with mobiles devices for non-programmers to access. And
then you can see the benefit that results for the consumers of the
APIs. They get a consistent user experience across all of their ALM
technologies, and they get state of the art tool support, even for
legacy systems they can’t yet migrate from.
