Progress DataDirect DevOps connectors
Progress announced the availability of new data connectors designed to improve the integration of analytics and reporting within the DevOps process for TeamCity, GitHub, Aha! and Jira.
“A key tenant of DevOps is continuous improvement and critical to that success is information – analysis of productivity metrics, feature functionality, quality and adoption and more. But when this information is within discrete systems and teams, it is difficult to measure the overall impact and where improvements need to be made. This is where data connectivity tools, such as DataDirect, offer tremendous value – enabling a cross-process view of data that results in better decision making,” said Stewart Bond, research director, Data Integration and Intelligence software research at IDC.
More information on how to get the new data connectors is available here.
