MercuryWorks: Jira—Azure DevOps Integration

When MercuryWorks needed to securely collaborate with two external clients across Azure DevOps, they turned to Getint for a controlled, bidirectional sync. With strict filters, field-level mapping, and near real-time automation, the team was able to connect one monolithic backlog with two client instances—without compromising data privacy. This case study shows how MercuryWorks used Getint to maintain clarity, control, and confidence at scale.

Integration Objective

MercuryWorks aimed to connect its internal Azure DevOps project with two client-side Azure DevOps instances to enable secure, bidirectional collaboration. The primary goal was to ensure accurate and filtered data exchange across environments—minimizing manual handoffs while maintaining strict control over visibility and information flow.

Data Integration Specifics

Issue Types:

The integration covered a range of issue types, including:

  • Epics
  • Features
  • Product Backlog Items
  • Bugs

Field Mapping:

Custom field mappings were established to enable precise synchronization across Azure DevOps instances. Key mappings included:

  • Title and Description
  • Acceptance Criteria and Effort
  • State, Area Path, and Iteration
  • Repro Steps and Attachments

Scripting and Custom Development Support

MercuryWorks leveraged Getint’s no-code rule builder and expert support to configure advanced filtering and logic, aligning the integration with their internal collaboration and security standards.

Success Metrics

The integration’s success was defined by
  • Secure Data Collaboration

    Sensitive project data shared across instances with full control and privacy.

  • Near Real-Time Synchronization

    Instant updates across all environments, reducing delays and miscommunication.

  • Granular Field Control

    Selective syncing of fields and issue types ensured clarity and compliance.

  • No-Code Admin Flexibility

    Internal teams managed sync rules without requiring developer resources.

Vendor Selection Process

Initially, MercuryWorks evaluated several marketplace tools for Azure DevOps integration. Getint stood out for its visual rule builder, no-code setup, and the ability to handle complex sync requirements across multiple environments—without the need for external platforms or custom scripting.
