What We Do – Our Mission

Siemens PLM Software’s driving mission is to work collaboratively with companies to deliver open solutions that help them turn more ideas into successful products. Our product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions can help you make smarter decisions that lead to better products, maximizing the value derived from your products through their entire lifecycle.

How We Do It – Our Vision

Companies across all industries are focused on trying to build the right product, and build it the right way. This quest is complicated by a number of factors, including increasing product complexity, regulatory requirements, and global development with local requirements. The critical question for today’s companies is this: Will complexity be your downfall, or can you turn it into a competitive advantage?

Siemens PLM Software imagines a future where accurate information is available to those who need it, when they need it, and in a way that they can use to make effective decisions quickly. We are delivering on this future today through our vision of High-Definition PLM (HD-PLM). The HD-PLM vision is based on three core concepts:

• Intelligently integrated information is the key to delivering the right information to the right people. Understanding the semantics of the relationship between your product lifecycle data is important because understanding why a relationship exists allows us to take more insightful action than that we could by just knowing a relationship exists. By understanding and breaking down customer requirements, we can assign them to the functional groups that develop a product feature, while maintaining visibility of the product as a whole. In this way, we can engage with the specific users who are impacted by a change, instead of updating everyone every time a change is made. In addition, because we connect a product design with the methods by which the product is manufactured, we can help your engineering and manufacturing teams speak a common language.
• Future-proof architecture is the key to making sure that the information you receive is in a form you can use. What good is a PLM system that is only available in a single deployment scheme, locks you into a certain set of authoring tools, or is only available on one or two devices? Our focus on future-proof architecture lets you deploy to suit your particular needs, whether it is a single desktop or a globally distributed supply chain. Future-proof architecture also allows you to use the devices, tools and data that you or your partners already have, while keeping your options open for what you do next.
• A high-definition user experience is the key to making decisions effectively. This is where the value of intelligently integrated information and future-proof architecture is most evident to the average user. Through our high definition user experience, we are able to expose only the information that a particular user needs to make a decision−based on their role and the decision at hand−cutting down on information overload and the time it takes to find relevant data. We do this by making sure the user is always in the right context to do their work, helping them accomplish their tasks, presenting the information intuitively, and helping them validate their decision rationale.

The question “Will complexity be your downfall, or can you turn it into a competitive advantage?” offers two very real possibilities. HD-PLM allows you achieve the latter, thriving in the current environment by turning the challenges of complexity into opportunities for customer satisfaction. By providing intelligent information at exactly the right time, in the correct context, and at the precise level of detail that each person needs, HD-PLM can help your company achieve a new level of productivity and quality.
