Jama Connect is the Only Requirements Management Software with a Robust REST API and Live Traceability™ to Enable DevSecOps

Leading DoD contractors are relying on Jama Connect as the cornerstone of their DevSecOps strategy for two main reasons:

  • Only Jama Connect provides a robust, REST API to align with an integrated CI/CD pipeline of Jira, Azure DevOps, Git, GitLab, Subversion, Jenkins, Splunk, Kubernetes, Visual Studio, Coverity, etc.
  • Only Jama Connect provides a Live Traceability model to connect all DevSecOps activity to the singular common element that defines value across all steps in the process – the requirement.

“Jama Connect’s API enables us to connect every single piece of the puzzle across the DevSecOps pipeline.” – Top 10 Aerospace & Defense Company

Dassault Catia Magic (Cameo) Syncs SysML Diagrams and Data ONLY to Jama Connect

SysML diagrams and MBSE data can be synched into Jama Connect, to view, trace, baseline, version, audit and review across all engineering disciplines. MBSE efforts are no longer isolated, but fully integrated into the entire development process, ensuring alignment across engineering disciplines.

  • Visualization of the shared system model and the status of its artifacts in the development lifecycle
  • System and behavioral diagrams
  • Faster requirements development, decomposition, and live tracing
  • Verification and validation of requirements developed in the model
  • Specialized document generation and data reporting

For DoD Programs that Mandate DOORS or DNG, You Can Now Use Jama Connect to Export the DOORS or DNG Flavor of ReqIF

Digital Engineering progress has been blocked by DoD programs mandating DOORS/DNG. Only Jama Connect can import and export all top vendor flavors of ReqIF, freeing you to achieve Digital Engineering.

Jama Connect for Air, Space, Sea, and Defense Programs

Innovative organizations building the A&D systems of the future use Jama Connect aerospace and defense software for their digital engineering practice to enhance stakeholder collaboration and ensure a shared vision across the development lifecycle. Jama Connect’s requirements management creates a digital thread for systems engineering, ensuring mission success.

Ensure Live Traceability and alignment across the product development lifecycle to seamlessly connect development solutions and facilitate product success.

“The Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently made the decision to migrate from DNG to Jama [Connect] as the institutionally supported requirements management database.”  https://aeroconf.org/conference/digest

JPL Paper45th IEEE Aerospace Conference

“A document-centric approach often requires a gatekeeper and really limits collaboration – that creates a bottleneck. With Jama Connect, all our development teams can work together from anywhere with a shared collaboration hub.”

David CubbageDirector, LEO Satellite Engineering and Production

“Review Center is facilitating communication. It has ensured a shared view of the world and agreement from all stakeholders. There are no surprises anymore. Jama Connect enables us to review documents and make decisions easily with everyone coming to a shared conclusion.”

Craig GrocottHead of Systems Engineering, Teledyne e2v

“We completed an entire design review in three weeks. Without Jama Connect, it would have taken us two months. If we had done this using Word and Excel, or purely in meetings, this would have taken significantly longer. This was a major early win for us.”
