“Siemens PLM Software continues to demonstrate leadership in some of the industry’s most important sectors,” said Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s Vice President. “Last month we reported that the company was the market presence leader in collaborative Product Definition management (cPDm) and the direct revenue leader in Digital Manufacturing, two of the fastest growing segments of the global PLM market. With the addition of its position as the PLM market presence leader in China – the world’s fastest growing economy – Siemens PLM Software continues to distinguish itself as a major force in the PLM industry.”
