PLANO, Texas, May 13 /PRNewswire/ — Siemens PLM Software, a business
unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global
provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today
celebrated a series of milestones achieved during its first year as part of
Siemens AG — capped by the results of two new reports from leading
industry analyst firms highlighting its growing position as a leader in the
PLM market and its commitment to digital product development through the
establishment of a new standard for mechanical computer-aided design (CAD).
“In the one year since Siemens AG announced the close of its
acquisition of UGS, we have successfully integrated our operations into
those of Siemens while concurrently growing our business and capturing
market share in the PLM industry,” said Tony Affuso, chairman and CEO of
Siemens PLM Software. “It’s been a strong first year for us as part of
Siemens, and we look forward to a long and successful future as a member of
the Siemens family.”
“In addition, we moved forward with our Unified Product and Production
Initiative, which we believe will fundamentally alter the landscape of what
companies can expect from industry software by providing them with greater
speed and confidence in bringing products to market than they have ever
experienced,” said Dr. Helmuth Ludwig, president, Siemens PLM Software.
“And more recently at Hanover Fair, we launched our new synchronous
technology thanks to Siemens’ ability to accelerate this breakthrough
technology to market. Siemens and UGS are a great combination and are off
to a fast start.”
“Congratulations to Siemens PLM Software for a fantastic year — we are
so pleased to have the team as part of the Siemens family. Our shared
vision of unifying the product and production lifecycles is becoming a
reality,” said Peter Loescher, president and CEO, Siemens AG during a site
visit at the Siemens PLM Software location in Detroit.
New Analyst Reports
Siemens PLM Software today announced the results of two new reports
from leading industry analyst firms, including a new report from Forrester
Research highlighting its growing position as a leader in the PLM market.
“Siemens PLM (Software) continues to build on its legacy of innovation
in the PLM space by constantly raising the bar with the depth and breadth
of their product offerings,” according to an April 2008 report The
Forrester Wave(TM): Product Life-Cycle Management Applications, Q2 2008.
The report also states, “Siemens PLM also leads (the PLM market) in overall
strategy; the latest Teamcenter(R) 2007 platform formalizes many prior
investments in shared services and common components into a unified
architecture that will facilitate more industry-focused solutions and a
tighter end-to-end PLM data model.
“Customers we spoke with conveyed Siemens PLM Software’s strategy as a
key differentiator, specifically citing the company’s vision for an open
product/process data platform and industry-leading integrations that drives
future value.”
Another new report, from Gartner, underscores Siemens PLM Software’s
commitment to mechanical digital product development, or CAD,
computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided engineering (CAE).
The new report entitled, “Siemens Reaffirms Its CAD Future with Synchronous
Technology,” focuses on Siemens PLM Software’s technology advancement and
the drive to dispel speculation that it will abandon mechanical CAD as a
core competency. The report also reinforces the forecast by Gartner –
which recently reported that “Siemens has become one of the largest and
most important providers of software serving the needs of manufacturers” –
that a new generation of CAD will replace procedural history-based modeling
as the mainstream approach to mechanical CAD and that our breakthrough
release of synchronous technology has the ability to set a new standard for
the industry.
