About us

Polarion Software, a Siemens Company.

Since Polarion’s inception in 2004, our mission has been to help companies advance the development, governance and maintenance of software via a unified solution for Requirements, Quality, and Application Lifecycle Management.

Polarion Software was acquired by Siemens PLM Software in January 2016, expanding their support for the growing ALM market. The acquisition is the culmination of a relationship between Siemens and Polarion that started several years ago through which Siemens has been an investor, a partner and customer of Polarion.

What does this mean for you? Everything in terms of possibilities. Your favorite Polarion products and solutions all continue to be available, and remain the market leaders in ALM. What is new and exciting is the synthesis of PLM and ALM into an integrated solution set that addresses the many challenges to innovation confronted in the 21st century.

This powerful combination helps fulfill Siemens PLM Software’s vision for Systems Driven Product Development, while enabling Polarion ALM to further expand its market leadership.

About-Polarion.jpg

Polarion was founded in 2004 by industry veterans with a disruptive vision for software and product development. In 2005, the company released Polarion ALM, the first 100% browser-based unified development platform designed to optimize enterprise development ecosystems and to revolutionize what it means to be an open system.

Today, Polarion continues its leadership in Application Lifecycle Management, with 10 years of amazing organic growth and over 2.5 million users. In 2014, Siemens Venture Capital, a wholly-owned business unit of Siemens AG and long-time Polarion customer, provided a corporate investment to help fund Polarion’s global growth.

Our customers use Polarion solutions to respond to today’s complex development challenges, with better quality, a low total cost of ownership, and a faster return on investment.
