2 Why Polarion? Lots of point solutions Tool landscape: Requirement management, change management, Microsoft Office, version and configuration management, test tools, build environments, IDEs, etc. All of them don t know of each other and live their own way in terms of processes, data Big demand on integration for bridging the media breaches for lossless flow in development Distributed teams: I.e. near-shore teams, off-shore teams, suppliers, third parties, customers Even a second floor in the same building challenges development of a single project Firewalls and other security necessities let stop each collaboration effort which goes outside the network Frustrated suppliers which would like to have/need actual information CMMI, SPICE Demand on traceability from requirement down to source code and vice versa Demand on contiguous information flow between all stakeholders Speed to achieve CMMI level 2 or 3 compliancy or SPICE levels 1 or 2 accordingly 2
