4 OSLC User Group for Communications, 2013 The Basics: What is OSLC, and why should I care? OSLC is an open community building practical specifications for integrating software Tool Maker create software using reusable and open assets that will interoperate with other tools both inside and outside your influence providing time and cost savings Tool Manager reduce the complexity and risk of increasingly complex software infrastructures, and improve the value of software across a broader set of internal and external stakeholders Tool User choose the best tools for your job and have them interact seamlessly to achieve traceability and visibility with the rest of your organization Systems Integrator focus energy and resources on higher-value customizations, deliver more business value to your clients, and increase client satisfaction OSLC is beneficial to many stakeholders Contributing Organizations:

5 OSLC User Group for Communications, 2013 The Executive Summary: OSLC’s Simple Solution Automation Monitoring Increased traceability Architecture of the Web Linked Data Increased reuse Standard Interfaces Better visibility “Just Enough” integration Decreased maintenance costs Users can work seamlessly across their tools (complex and fragile synchronization schemes not required) OSLC is an open and scalable approach to lifecycle integration. It simplifies key integration scenarios across heterogeneous tools

11 OSLC User Group for Communications, 2013 OSLC User Groups Launched  Primary goal: To make it easier for you to make non-technical contributions to OSLC  Examples:  Describing and defining the key integration scenarios for your organization  And even driving those scenarios into future OSLC standards  Collaborating on experience reports, best practice white papers, and other assets  Leading and participating in community marketing, promotion, recruiting, and more  3 User Groups exist already … YOU can join them, or propose new ones  Communications Communications  To discuss, plan and execute communications about the work of the OSLC community.  Embedded Systems Embedded Systems  To explore issues in embedded systems across a broad variety of application domains.embedded systems  Mobile Mobile  To explore and understand the integration scenarios that make Mobile painful for organizations, and to drive these scenarios into OSLC standards.

There are more than enough hurdles to achieving enterprise mobility … What if integration came standard? OSLC User Group for Mobile It all starts with scenarios.

Rocket science is hard enough … Shouldn’t integration come standard? OSLC User Group for Embedded Systems It all starts with scenarios.
