Introduction to PPM solution integrations

OpenText PPM integrations support Change Management and Release Management within your organization. Some of these integrations use the ALM content bundle, which adds to PPM a set of entities that support standard Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes. These entities can be configured to meet your business needs.

The following table lists the applications that PPM can be integrated with when using and not using ALM content bundle.
