Polarion® ALM — the integrated ALM platform for today and tomorrow

"Tomorrow's ALM is a platform for the coordination and management of development activities, not a collection of life-cycle tools with locked-in and limited ALM features. These platforms are the result of purposeful design rather than rework following acquisitions."

–Forrester Research:
The Changing Face Of Application Life-Cycle Management

Industry analysts agree – Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) processes and tools are the future, the direction software development organizations looking for the next competitive edge are headed. Already, you have an array of "ALM solutions" to choose from. But most of those are, in the words of Forrester Research, "tool-to-tool integration, and this integration is never as deep or resilient as advertised..." — in other words, first generation point solutions that may suffice for today, but which are questionable for the needs of tomorrow.

According to Forrester's recent report The Changing Face Of Application Life-Cycle Management, tomorrow's ALM is "...a platform for the coordination and management of development activities, not a collection of life-cycle tools with locked-in and limited ALM features... the result of purposeful design..."
