Case Study: Ottobock achieves improved product quality and project visibility with Polarion Software

Ottobock - Customer Case Study

Ottobock, a global maker of medical devices with more than 6,000 employees and operations in 50 countries, faced mounting demands from strict regulatory standards (ISO, RoHS, etc.) that require rigorous verification, validation and documentation. Its in‑house project management system proved limited—requirements and documents were managed loosely without links, making traceability slow and laborious—so the company sought a more robust ALM solution.

After a thorough evaluation, Ottobock selected Polarion ALM and deployed its browser‑based, configurable platform (including LiveDocs) to unify requirements, test management and documentation. The implementation delivered full traceability, real‑time project visibility, tighter security and better team collaboration—results that simplified reporting and testing, boosted product quality and increased team morale.
