OSLC Broker for Jira: The Next Chapter in OSLC Integration

For almost a decade, SodiusWillert has been committed to enabling seamless integration and collaboration across enterprise engineering toolchains through OSLC.

For the past six years, our OSLC Connect for Jira product has supported teams around the world to connect Atlassian Data Center to systems and software development applications such as IBM ELM, Siemens Polarion, CATIA Teamwork Cloud, helping organizations achieve cross-tool traceability and lifecycle management. 

But the Atlassian ecosystem is changing. With Jira Server retired and Data Center scheduled to end in 2029, the path toward Cloud is here, and customers face a pressing question: how do we preserve the OSLC integrations that teams depend on while transitioning to Jira Cloud? 

At SodiusWillert, continuity towards our customers’ success has always been our priority. That’s why we have been evolving alongside Atlassian to ensure that your enterprise doesn’t lose the OSLC capabilities, ensuring that your workflows remain connected, traceable, and reliable — no matter where your Jira instance lives.

Coming soon: OSLC Broker for Jira Cloud

We are excited to share the upcoming release of OSLC Broker for Jira, the Cloud-compatible evolution of our OSLC Connect for Jira solution.

• Expected timeline:
  • Release Timeline: General Availability is planned for Q1 2026.

How we will support you during this transition

We know that moving from Data Center to Cloud is not a simple “flip of a switch.” It’s a journey, and we’re here to make that journey as smooth as possible.

1. Releasing demos and snippets in the coming months to give you an early look at what’s ahead.
2. Introducing new (Data Center) licensing options direct from Sodius that allow more timeline control outside of the Atlassian Marketplace-defined windows.
3. Providing migration services to help your teams transition from OSLC Connect for Jira Data Center to OSLC Broker for Jira Cloud with minimal disruption.
4. Ensuring continuity and quality so your integrations remain reliable throughout this change.

We also recognize that migration can be a complex process. That’s why our team is preparing dedicated migration services to ensure a smooth and secure transition from OSLC Connect for Jira Data Center to OSLC Broker for Jira Cloud. As we approach the release of OSLC Broker for Jira Cloud, we will provide more information about these services.

Our mission is simple: to help you make the switch without losing the stability and integrations that power your engineering ecosystem.
