iRise Connect for IBM Rational®

Visual Definition Integrated With Requirements Management

For the first time, IBM customers have a unique advantage in their application development projects.

iRise Connect for IBM Rational® is a comprehensive integration combining iRise application simulation with sophisticated requirements management from IBM to form a complete solution. Making use of real-time, bi-directional synchronization, Rational RequisitePro users get the requirements right from the outset with iRise and then successfully manage them through the development and delivery phases of software projects.

The result is innovative business systems delivered to market faster, with less risk of rework and delays due to miscommunication.

iRise Connect ensures requirements captured and visually articulated in iRise Studio are kept in sync as the product lifecycle transitions from requirements definition through to requirements management. Real-time integration ensures momentum is not lost as requirements are made available and managed throughout the balance of the software development process.

Benefits Include:

  • Employ a visual and interactive approach to application definition as the front end of the IBM Rational development process
  • Ensure the requirements being managed are the "right" requirements
  • Eliminate re-keying of requirements between platforms
  • Guarantee that requirements don’t fall through the cracks between definition and management
  • Communicate concepts unambiguously by providing links associating requirements being managed to working simulations

Key Capabilities of iRise Connect for IBM Rational:

  • Real-time, bi-directional server-to-server synchronization
  • Requirements authored, modified or deleted in IBM are synchronized with requirements in iRise
  • Requirements authored, modified or deleted in iRise Studio are synchronized with requirements in Rational RequisitePro
  • Requirements attribution is visible in both iRise and IBM
  • Hyperlinks are available from IBM environment to specific simulation pages in iRise

"We believe that joining application definition with IBM requirements management makes complete sense. Integrating visual simulation with the downstream application development process will help take the guesswork out of managing projects and should get services to market faster."

Gary Blouin

"Getting line of business and IT on the same page is critical to an organization's success. The integration of iRise with comprehensive requirements management products from IBM gives our customers the ability to know what to build in the first place, and then manage those requirements through to a successful outcome. iRise has used-customer driven use cases to design their integration with the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform to ensure that their integration provides value to customers."
