INTEGRATION OVERVIEW

Bridge PLM and Agile Engineering

OSLC Connect for Windchill is a server-side extension for PTC Windchill that exposes Windchill artifacts as OSLC resources over standard REST web services. Once deployed, Jira users can create live links to Windchill Change Notices, Parts, and Documents directly from Jira issues, and Windchill users can do the same in reverse.

The integration supports bidirectional linking between Jira issues (change requests, bugs, features) and Windchill change objects (Change Notices, Problem Reports, and more). Rich previews give each team real-time visibility into the linked artifact without ever leaving their native tool.

Built on the OASIS OSLC open standard, the connector is technology-agnostic, governance-ready, and designed for regulated industries where data ownership, access control, and audit trails are non-negotiable.

Linked data, not synchronized data

OSLC Connect references remote data over live OSLC/REST calls instead of copying it. Each tool remains the single source of truth for its own data. There is no sync job to maintain and no risk of conflicting copies.

Open standard, no vendor lock-in

The integration uses the OASIS OSLC standard adopted across the engineering toolchain industry. The same connector can link Windchill to IBM ELM, Jira, Confluence, and other OSLC-compliant tools, giving you a consistent, extensible integration architecture rather than a point-to-point workaround.

Links stored natively in Windchill

All link relationships are persisted directly in the Windchill repository using Windchill's own data model. Links travel with your product data and remain accessible through Windchill's standard change and configuration management processes.

KEY CAPABILITIES
