Polarion is used to manage requirements tasks, test and release states in software development. This information must be linked with product data from mechanical and E/E development to form a holistic digital thread to ensure traceability across system boundaries. Therefore, the integration of Polarion with other enterprise applications such as PLM or ERP plays an important role, especially for manufacturers of mechatronic or smart products.
To meet customer requirements, we are extending our world-leading PLM integration platform OpenPDM in the direction of ALM and developing a new Polarion connector. It enables information from Polarion to be synchronized or linked via OpenPDM with other ALM systems, as well as PLM or ERP systems. Depending on the use case, the integration platform supports different scenarios. Thanks to the OpenPDM OSCL provider, the new Polarion connector, like all other OpenPDM connectors, is fully OSLC-capable.
