Requirement Management for a Software Provider
aqua Speeds Up Requirements Work - First-Hand Experience

iMes Solutions GmbH is a German MES software provider for chemical and pharmaceutical production. Founded in 2001 and based in Burghausen, Bavaria, the company develops modular solutions for process data archiving and alarm management. The company's requirements engineering function coordinates specifications with multiple stakeholders. They structure requirements hierarchies so people can review the appropriate level of detail at each stage. iMes Solutions chose aqua to organize and review requirements while maintaining clear ownership and change history.

BEFORE

Excel-Driven Requirements

Before aqua, the IMES Solutions team managed requirements in an Excel list. They did not use a dedicated test management tool. Excel covered the basics, but as the requirement set grew, the file became harder to maintain and slower to work in.

Changes and discussions were hard to follow. The team couldn’t always tell who edited what, when it changed, or why. That meant extra coordination effort for the RE team. Stakeholder feedback was harder to capture without cluttering the requirements themselves.

  • Spent too much time maintaining and updating a shared Excel requirements list
  • Lost clarity on change history: who changed what, when, and why
  • Mixed discussions and specification content, which slowed reviews
  • Struggled to keep a clean overview as projects and sub-items expanded

AFTER

One Clear Source of Truth

With aqua, the IMES Solutions RE team moved requirements into a central workspace. Ownership stays clear, and stakeholders can comment without disrupting the requirement text. The tree structure and list view, along with sorting and filtering, give the team a fast way to zoom from high-level structure to detail without losing context.

The team also gained dependency management with diagrams and freely configurable dashboards for clearer reporting and decision-making. Looking ahead, aqua’s AI Assistant can create requirements from a prompt or uploaded files. It can also generate test cases from requirements, giving IMES Solutions a methodology to extend to the next-gen test management when needed.

  • Centralized requirements with controlled ownership and stakeholder comments
  • Restored accountability with clear change tracking instead of guesswork
  • Kept reviews clean by separating discussions from requirement content
  • Maintained end-to-end overview with tree structure, dependency diagrams, and dashboards
"With aqua we greatly altered the way we manage requirements. The clarity we gained from having one centralized workspace is what affected our strategic coordination the most in an absolutely positive way."
