"Being able to collaborate with the business experts is very important," said IBM Rational's Dave Johnson, who is an expert in the IBM Rational Jazz platform on which Team Concert is based, and who worked with Mainsoft on the integration. This integration, he said, allows the development team to reach out to the broader community that may not be using Team Concert.

BearingPoint programmers can use SharePoint to store their documents and route them through the approval process. For the nonprogrammers on the project, SharePoint is a familiar and easy-to-use tool.
