07. December: How Santa exchanges Christmas wishes with internal and external partners

This Document (Santa’s wish List) describes all the wishes, that children have for Christmas worldwide. All these wishes has been sent to Santa Claus directly.  

Santa Claus manages and tracks the order status of these wishes in Siemens Polarion to ensure, that all of these gifts are packaged in a timely manner and therefore can delivered just in time during Christmas Eve. 

Responsible for the internal gift production are Santa Claus Elves, which also use Siemens Polarion. This year, Santa Clauses Elves are being supported by external partners due to the high number of Christmas wishes. The external partner (Elves production company E.P.C.) is currently using MS WORD as exchange format. For a fast and uncomplicated exchange process between Santa’s office and the internal Elves production plant, the ReqIf-format is used. 

A verry merry thank you to Dennis Pfeiffer!
