Planview Introduces Planview OpenSuite for IBM Rational ClearQuest

Planview introduced Planview OpenSuite for IBM Rational ClearQuest. The newest addition to its Planview OpenSuite product line, this off-the-shelf integration ties portfolio management to one of the market’s leading ALM solutions.

This offering is designed for IT organizations that want the benefits of one consolidated view into project, maintenance, and resource reporting. This enables them to better balance innovation and maintenance work, the demand pipelines for which historically reside in separate issue tracking systems and project systems.

Planview OpenSuite for IBM Rational ClearQuest integrates approved innovation and maintenance projects from Planview Enterprise Project Portfolio Management with project-level tasks, bugs, and issues in IBM Rational ClearQuest to create the unified view into development work these organizations demand.

This integration delivers benefits for developers and leadership of product organizations. Developers have one, centralized access point to all projects and work to which they are assigned, eliminating misprioritized effort and wasted time. Management can communicate resource and project status and make informed decisions by having an overall picture of project health, and can more accurately plan for time spent on maintenance versus innovation work.

Supporting the Planview OpenSuite vision of interoperability in heterogeneous environments, Planview OpenSuite for IBM Rational ClearQuest enables customers to leverage in-place technology investments while improving productivity. Planview OpenSuite for IBM Rational ClearQuest represents the first of several Planview OpenSuite ALM integrations, and will be available in Q1 2009.
