Kovair Omnibus Integration Platform introduces unique features that set it apart from other integration technologies currently available in the market. Kovair Omnibus enables easy configuration through drag-and-drop configuration screens, which eliminates the need of coding. The ESB platform works behind the scene to provide a fully automated and enterprise-grade synchronization support for tools that are used by software development and delivery teams. With Kovair Omnibus, everyone can work from their tool of choice as well as get near real-time access to updates made by team members working in some other tools.

This video will give you a walkthrough into Kovair Omnibus and some of its distinguishing features that explain why customers prefer Omnibus over others. Kovair Omnibus is an integration platform that offers integration supports with 110+ tools in the IT tool chain. It not just helps to synchronize but scales organization work process.

Though organizations spend huge amount of money to seamlessly migrate data from existing system to a new one, the success rate is still found to be low due to ineffective planning, poor selection of migration tool, and improper execution. Several challenges are faced during the migration of data from one tool to another.

Kovair QuickSync is the one Stop solution for All Your Data Migration Needs. It is designed with features that are truly required for any large or very large-scale enterprise-level migration, ensuring zero data loss and data disparity. The video gives you a walkthrough of some of the distinguishing features of Kovair QuickSync and explains how Kovair Quick Sync works to achieve your data migration needs while overcoming some of the data migration challenges.

Kovair Omnibus has a central framework that allows multiple tools to be easily integrated with each other. This makes the artifacts of the integrated tools to be visible and accessible by any tool user within the integrated tool environment. Hence managing the relationship of these connected artifacts becomes extremely easy.

This video will show the integration flow among Service Now, HP ALM and CA Agile Central (Rally) with respect to an Incident from its submission to resolution. It would also show the work and traceability across the tools and generate meaningful reports and metrics on the data accumulated from the cross-tool artifacts.

Kovair Omnibus offers integration support with 110+ tools. Using Kovair Omnibus, you can flow artifacts and automate handoffs across your entire tool chain, accelerate delivery and faster response to your customers, configure integrations with accuracy using Kovair user-friendly interface.

Kovair Omnibus supports flexible data routing facility that enables you to specify the exact location where you want the data to be transferred when routing data from the source tool to the target tool. You can route data directly when you need to flow the artifact or set the set the route map based on specific conditions. For example, you can specify whether a high priority defect need to be sent to Project A and a low priority defect needs to be sent to Project. Kovair Omnibus will follow the validations when routing data from the source tool to the target tool based on team work structures and standard processes. The explanation has been shown by presenting a use case scenario using tools like Service Now, Atlassian Jira and Helix ALM.

Kovair Omnibus offers integration supports with 110+ tools in the IT tool chain. Sync Artifacts is one of the primary features of Kovair Omnibus — an Enterprise Service Based platform that enables users to set up an integrated ALM ecosystem by connecting COTs, in-house and open source tools.

Make efficient use of your existent functionality and data extracted from a host tool. API or Application Programming Interface is a collection of functional endpoints for defining communication with a host tool. Using Kovair API, data from third party tools can be mashed up into the Kovair Omnibus platform to generate meaningful metrics. The features is especially relevant when integrating analytical tools with BI tools. Using Kovair API as the gateway of information, meaningful data can be extracted from the analytical tool and flowed into the BI tool for recovering important data and metrics.

    Using Kovair API you can:
  • Push data from external resources into the Kovair platform for building a data repository.
  • Extract data directly from the connected tools using Kovair API, Kovair Omnibus ESB Platform, and Kovair Adapters.
  • Generate organizational specific reports by extracting raw data from the platform into the best-of-breed tools.

Communicating from different tools is difficult. That’s why Kovair Synchronization Support for files and comments enables team members to collaborate efficiently irrespective of what tool they use. Using Kovair Synchronization Support for Omnibus, artifacts from different tools can be synchronized to facilitate sharing of file attachments and comments, while eliminating the need of any separate tools like Slack or email for communication. Now imagine being able to view the conversation history related to an artifact if a bug becomes a regression. The entire data synchronization process of Kovair Omnibus has been explained using a use case scenario between tools Microfocus ALM for submitting defects and Atlassian JIRA for managing bugs. Kovair Omnibus offers integration supports with 110+ tools in the IT tool chain and it not only flows artifacts but also synchronizes associated information like the fields, attachments, and comments. It also automates handoffs across your entire tool chain so that delivery is accelerated your team can respond to customers faster.

Connect the world of software delivery with Kovair Omnibus. It has a central framework that makes connected artifacts of multiple integrated tools easily visible. As a result, managing the relationship between these connected artifacts becomes extremely easy, compared to Point-to-Point Integration where the central framework is absent and only two tools can be connected one at a time. For example, a defect from JIRA tool can be easily traced back to its corresponding requirement in HP ALM tool or CA Clarity tool.

The explanation has been given with the help of a use case scenario involving tools like IBM Rational Doors NextGen (RDNG), Eclipse, BitBucket, HP ALM and Jira to demonstrate how artifacts namely Requirements, Changesets, Code Files, Test Cases and Defects are flowed from one tool to another using Kovair Omnibus. Kovair Omnibus is an Enterprise-Based Service Bus that allows users to integrate 90+ off-the-shelf ALM tools thus forming an integrated development environment. These can be COTs, Inhouse or open-source tools. Click the video to learn more about Requirements Implementation Traceability with Kovair Omnibus.

Kovair Sync Monitor and Omnibus Dashboard give complete operational visibility into the integrated system. Monitor the data flow through the system, track updates that are pending, processed or have triggered actions resulting in errors. Kovair Omnibus Dashboard allows you to generate various graphs and metrics to illustrate the integration health and help facilitate easy troubleshooting. The video will demonstrate the various mechanisms offered by Kovair Omnibus for monitoring the data integration status in real time. Kovair Omnibus is an Enterprise Based Bus that offers an automated, enterprise-level synchronization between the best-of-breed multi-vendor tools, open source, and in-house tools used by organizations to create an integrated tools ecosystem.
