The developers of product development lifecycle generally work in isolation on the basis of their functions technology, geographic or plant locations and the same goes for the IT service management of any organization. For multiple solutions, ideally, there needs to be a single data repository for issues and other ALM entities to reside in the same repository. This ensures an integrated picture of the different facets of the development cycle.
In most organizations however, it is multiple vendors who provide the best breed of tools. This rarely has interconnectivity and data transferability unless point to point integrations are carried out. Even different tools from the same vendor are not typically connected with each other. It is therefore best to use an integration capability by way of the omnibus technology that is SOA based. As the SOA technology based Omnibus is data technology, vendor and location agnostic, it can be can be integrated with other tools or can be located anywhere.
In todays multi locations as well as outsourced development environment, it is important that a Requirements Management tool based in one geographical location be able to communicate with a Test tool based in a completely different geographical location.

The business rules are configured by the user for each application. There is no necessity for hard coding of business rules as the data layer is divided from the business layer.
An
integration bus facilitates the enhancement of capabilities of other tools.
An efficient omnibus technology offers tremendous value propositions for organizations having investments in multiple tools. This in turn increases ROI by providing the facility to integrate tools from any vendor at a lesser cost and also fills the gaps in point tools. Any selector of
Application Lifecycle Management or
ITSM solutions tools should not overlook the compelling value proposition of an omnibus technology for integration of tools. A true integrated
