Overall Satisfaction with Polarion ALM
As Tier 1 Supplier of Motion Control Solutions, our
company is always faced with the challenge to manage its position between the OEM
and our suppliers. The customer expectation regarding the compliance with
automotive standards like ASPICE, ISO-26262 and ISO-21434 has increased over
the last years. Stabilus works continuously on fulfillment of customer
expectations in scope of Development of products with integrated Software, such
like Power Door and Power Tailgate Systems.
Polarion supports us to manage the whole project development including the
requirements and the changes, as well as with matters relating to faults,
configuration, and risks. But none of this was a surefire success: At the
beginning, it was very hard to use Polarion, so it took a lot of work to adapt
Polarion to meet the company’s needs, but now it’s hard to imagine handling
day-to-day projects without Polarion.
