What parm does

Parm AG is a privately held Swiss software company headquartered in Kreuzlingen, Thurgau, that develops and distributes the myPARM product family of modular project and portfolio management solutions. The company sells to enterprise and mid-market customers across six declared verticals — engineering and construction, public administration, IT, manufacturing, energy and utilities, and education and research — with named reference customers such as CSD Ingenieure, WSP, Amberg Engineering, Consulaqua, Aargau Verkehr, and the State Capital of Düsseldorf. Distribution is mixed: a direct enterprise sales motion with demo booking and free-trial conversion, augmented by a partner network that extends coverage to 39 countries and a multi-language website supporting German, English, Italian, Finnish, French, Spanish, and Polish.

The technology stack is a web-based, modular platform underpinned by an Open API architecture and more than 30 standard interfaces that integrate with customers' ERP and CRM systems. The core product, myPARM ProjectManagement, covers the full lifecycle from initiation, budgeting, and resource planning through time and expense recording, controlling, and invoicing, and is differentiated by low-code and no-code configuration that allows non-programmers to personalize workflows, dashboards, and reports. Two add-on modules extend the platform: myPARM BIact provides business intelligence, data integration, visualization, and reporting within the same system; myPARM CorporateNavigator connects strategic planning with operational project execution. Deployment is offered as cloud SaaS or on-premise with HTTPS encryption, two-factor authentication, and daily backups, backed by ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 14001 certifications and the Swiss Made Software designation.

The commercial model is quote-based subscription licensing on an annual cadence, with pricing undisclosed publicly and accessed via sales contact or trial registration. The go-to-market combines enterprise sales, free trial and pilot projects for mid-market conversion, and channel partner reselling across 39 countries. Revenue is recurring through SaaS and on-premise license subscriptions; no revenue figure, headcount, funding, or ownership change is disclosed in the public record, though the company is described as privately held and management-owned, led by Martin Sommer (CEO) and Jean-Luc Cornaz (Chairman of the Board). The company has operated since its founding in the mid-1990s and continues to publish educational content and update its product positioning around its core multi-project management, financial controlling, and strategy-to-execution integration narrative.

Direct peers

• Monday.com: Monday.com is a work/project management cloud platform listed by Parm as an explicit competitor. While broader and more PLG-led, it overlaps materially with myPARM's project tracking, collaboration, and dashboard functionality for enterprise and mid-market teams.
• ClickUp: ClickUp is a consolidated work/project platform named on Parm's comparison page. It covers tasks, projects, dashboards, and resource views, competing for the same enterprise/mid-market project management budgets as myPARM.
• Planview: Planview is an established PPM and enterprise work management vendor covering portfolio, resource, and financial management. It competes head-on with Parm's multi-project portfolio and controlling capabilities for mid-market and enterprise buyers.
• Asana: Asana is a major work-management platform explicitly named on Parm's comparison page. It competes for the same project and portfolio use cases but skews toward collaborative work management rather than deep financial controlling of multi-project portfolios.
• Sciforma: Sciforma is a focused PPM software company (portfolio, resource, demand, project management) very similar in scope to myPARM. It serves similar mid-market and enterprise customers and is a direct competitive comparable in the PPM category.
• Wrike (Citrix): Wrike is an enterprise project management and work-collaboration platform listed by Parm as a direct competitor. It overlaps with myPARM on project planning, dashboards, resource and workflow management for enterprise teams.
• Meisterplan: Meisterplan is a German-headquartered PPM and portfolio resource management vendor. It is a direct functional peer to myPARM in the European market, focusing on portfolio capacity planning and strategic alignment — highly relevant for the same engineering and public sector buyer profile.
• Genius Project: Genius Project is a Swiss PPM vendor with project, portfolio and resource management capabilities, including financial controlling. It directly competes with Parm AG in the Swiss and broader DACH market for enterprise multi-project management.

Broad incumbents

• Atlassian (Jira + Advanced Roadmaps): Atlassian's Jira and Jira Align/Advanced Roadmaps are a benchmark in agile and enterprise project planning; Parm specifically names Jira as a comparator. While Jira is most associated with agile software development, Advanced Roadmaps is a portfolio planning comparable to myPARM's multi-project management.
• Microsoft (Dynamics 365 Project Operations / Project for the Web): Microsoft offers project and portfolio capabilities embedded in Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365 (Project for the Web). It overlaps with Parm's PPM/core ERP-style functionality and is specifically named as a competitor on Parm's comparison page, but operates as a much broader enterprise platform rather than a focused PPM suite.
