Polarion Implementation Support:
Mithun has a lot of experience implementing Polarion at our customers. Polarion's strength lies in the fact that an implementation is highly efficient. In most cases you need to consider, a couple of days training plus an average of ten days of implementation consultancy, with your first project template as deliverable. This template will support your engineering processes and your specific terminology. As a next step you can use this template for a broader roll-out of Polarion in your organization.

Upgrading Polarion is becoming more and more complex, Mithun can either do the entire upgrade for your organization, or can support your team to do the Polarion upgrades.
We will do this in a save and controlled environment, minimizing disruption of your production environment.
Upgrading to V25.12:
As Polarion’s 25.12 architecture becomes more resilient, upgrades now include migrating data to a PostgreSQL database.

We can deliver these services offsite and onsite.
