Siemens - a technology major - and SAP SE (enterprise application software provider) have partnered to deliver integrated end-to-end software solutions across supply chain, product lifecycle, and asset management towards industrial transformation.
Siemens will offer SAP Intelligent Asset Management solutions and SAP Portfolio and Project Management applications, while SAP will offer Siemens’ ‘Teamcenter’ software as the core foundation for product lifecycle collaboration and product data management.
Klaus Helmrich, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries has said that the collaboration between the two industry leaders is more than just a mere interoperability and interfaces. “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 added.

Bob Parker, Senior VP of Industry Research at IDC stated, “The combination of SAP S/4HANA software and Siemens’ Teamcenterwould provide companies end-to-end process capability from product design to decommission.”
Complementing and integrating their respective offerings, both the companies would be able to offer customers the first truly integrated and enhanced solutions for product lifecycle management (PLM), supply chain, service and
asset management.
Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of SAP SE and responsible for SAP Product Engineering, highlighted, “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.”
While if we look at SAP’s end-to-end suite of applications and services, it is currently used across more than 437,000 business and public customers globally.
