However, the difference this time is that SAP has very a deep and wide set of software offerings in the supply chain and manufacturing domains, which when stitched together with Siemens’ PLM solutions can provide true end-to-end digitalisation capabilities across the ‘Design, Source, Make, Deliver and Plan’ continuum of the value chain.” Ecosystm Comments In 2018 the alliance was strengthened with plans to accelerate their joint business until 2020, with a focus on building innovative solutions by combining their capabilities. A strategic alliance between Siemens and Atos has been in place since 2011. Ghatak says, “This is not the first such partnership for Siemens. Together they would be able to offer an exhaustive set of very valuable offerings in the Digital Supply Chain and Digital Manufacturing domain for customers worldwide.” This is a great partnership announcement aimed towards meeting the convergence goals by integrating the capabilities of Siemens (an OT leader), and SAP (an IT leader). Historically, these two worlds have operated in silos. It will provide users with real-time business information, customer insights and performance data over the entire product development cycle.Īs the first step of this agreement, Siemens will offer SAP’s Intelligent Asset Management solution and Project and Portfolio Management applications and SAP will offer Siemens’ PLM suite Teamcenter software for product lifecycle collaboration and data management to manufacturers and business operators across the network – complementing each other’s solutions.Įcosystm Principal Advisor, Kaushik Ghatak says, “The convergence of the Information Technology (IT) and the Operational Technology (OT) worlds is a must for companies to operate in the cyber physical world of Industry 4.0. The partnership between SAP and Siemens aims to develop innovative business models to break silos between manufacturing, product development and service delivery teams to establish seamless customer-centric processes. Last week industry leaders, SAP and Siemens, announced a partnership to bring together their respective expertise on creating integrated and enhanced solutions for product lifecycle management (PLM), supply chain, service and asset management, in a move that is expected to accelerate Industry 4.0 globally. SAP's end-to-end suite of applications and services are currently enabling more than 437,000 business and public customers globally.SAP and Siemens Partner to Accelerate Industrial Automation "As manufacturers design and deliver smarter products and assets, access to real-time business information across networks is critical to bring new and improved innovations to market faster," said Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of SAP SE and responsible for SAP Product Engineering. Both the companies will be able to complement and integrate their respective offerings in order to offer customers the first truly integrated and enhanced solutions for product lifecycle management (PLM), supply chain, service and asset management. Combining Siemens' Teamcenter and SAP S/4HANA software "provides companies an end-to-end process capability from product design to decommission," said Bob Parker, Senior VP of Industry Research at IDC. "It is about creating a truly integrated digital thread that unites product and asset lifecycle management with the business that enables customers to optimize production of products," he said in a statement on Monday. According to Klaus Helmrich, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries, this collaboration between two industry leaders is about more than just interoperability and interfaces.
