Polarion Software Launches Subversion and ALM Workshops in the U.K.

LONDON, January 29 /PRNewswire/ --

Polarion Software, creators of fully integrated application lifecycle
management solutions and services based on Subversion, will launch two
workshop series in the United Kingdom: How to Ramp Up to Subversion Fast and
Application Lifecycle Management with Subversion.

The Stuttgart, Germany based software company has been conducting these
workshops regularly in Germany and other European countries for the past two
years. According to Polarion CEO Frank Schroeder, Forrester Research's
(http://www.forrester.com) report Software Change and Configuration
Management, Q2 2007 (May 29, 2007), which cited Subversion as the leading
stand-alone SCM solution, sparked widespread interest in the open source
version control system, touted by many as the definitive replacement for CVS.
As a result, Polarion Software has seen an increased demand for these
workshops.

Having recently established a UK subsidiary, Polarion Software UK, Ltd.,
the company is now launching the workshops in the United Kingdom. The first
workshops will take place at 107-111 Fleet Street, London on February 1,
2008. The company plans to offer the sessions approximately every six weeks
throughout the year. Cost of each workshop is $79.00 (GBP).
