Products must be processed at even shorter intervals. At the same time, customer demands and demands regarding the product quality are increasing. The expected demographic change requires a rethinking regarding how activities can be carried out with fewer staff in the future. To work efficient, an Application Lifecycle Management System (ALM) is indispensable.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you are using Siemens Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> (ALM) and your customers\/ suppliers are using a Requirement Management Software like IBM Rational DOORS<sup>TM <\/sup>Classic? Or you are using IBM Rational DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic and are interested in how projects can be implemented in Siemens Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup>? In this blog we want to show you three easy and time efficient ways, how data from IBM Rational DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic can be transferred to Siemens Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> and how data can be exchanged (or synchronized) between both systems.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Part 1: The ReqIF-Function<\/li>\n<li>Part 2: The Polarion Import-Function<\/li>\n<li>Part 3: The Polarion Synchronizer-Function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example how to transfer data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-112739.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-112739.png 755w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-05-112739-600x253.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> offers a variety of possibilities to manage requirements across domains.
