Thank you for a great 5th User Conference!

Once again Stuttgart, Germany was the venue of our annually Polarion User Conference. More than 210 attendees from all over Europe and the USA will now be better able to utilize Polarion for their companies´ needs through the information gained from interactive discussions, networking within the user community, and various presentations covering many different hot industry topics. The highlights of this year's program were the keynote by ‘Michael Azoff from Ovom on the topic ALM-PLM Integration in Software-Rich Engineering.

The program featured presentations not only by Polarion employees, but also by several customer and partner companies. Speakers from the Automotive, Electronics and Engineering, Embedded Development,– and more – delivered innovative best-practice approaches in Requirements Management, Test Management, and Application Lifecycle Management. Among these speakers were users from Mercedes Car Group, Siemens, PagesJaunes.fr, T-Systems International GmbH and Vaillant GmbH, who presented the practical value of our solutions for their organizations.

As in the years before, attendees had the great opportunity to interact with Polarion Software's experts, such as our SVP Strategy & Business Development Stefano Rizzo, VP Research & Development Nick Entin, Product Manager Jiri Walek and Professional Services Manager Timothy Ströbele who were available throughout the conference for feedback and discussions. Furthermore, the participants received at our Round Tables in-depth insights on the topics: Polarion Rendering API & Widgets, Polarion Integrations, Process & Configuration and New Features, where they had the opportunity to discuss their questions and experiences directly with our experts as well as other participants.
