Blueprint partners up with Tasktop to extend integration capability.

TORONTO, ON, September 2, 2015 - Blueprint, a global leader in driving IT project success by de-risking and accelerating complex software projects, has extended its offering by partnering with Tasktop, the industry leader in Software Lifecycle Integrations. Through Tasktop, Blueprint integrates with industry leading IT software solutions such as JIRA, HP, Rally and ServiceNow®.

Tasktop is recognized by leading analyst firms as the market’s premier enterprise integrations provider. Tasktop empowers organizations to connect everyone across the software lifecycle to provide enhanced efficiency, improved collaboration and accelerated delivery.

“Interest in requirements is on the upswing in part because of scaled Agile approaches such as SAFe and DAD that encourage more traditional requirements methods. Tasktop’s support for Blueprint means that it now supports the large majority of requirements management tools, which is important for many organizations seeking to scale their Agile implementations,” said David West, Chief Product Officer, Tasktop.

Blueprint helps organizations tackle the complexities of large, complex IT projects without compromising time to delivery or incurring increased errors. “Poor integrations are the Achilles-heel of application lifecycle tooling, and can limit the benefits of the requirements improvements that Blueprint provides,” said Tony Higgins, VP of Products at Blueprint. “We are thrilled to partner with Tasktop a leading provider of enterprise-class integrations to remove this limitation for our customers.”
