Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
- My company is an SAP customer and is looking at product data management (PDM) solutions, including both SAP and Siemens.
- People are talking about the digital thread and digital twins, capabilities expected to benefit from this partnership. How will this partnership help?
- We are pursuing a digital transformation in response to Industry 4.0 and demands for smart connected products. How will the two companies working together to support our needs better?
On 14 July, two of CIMdata’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Mindshare Leaders, SAP, and Siemens Digital Industries Software announced a momentous partnership:

From the Siemens press release: “Together, Industry leaders Siemens and SAP will deliver integrated end-to-end software solutions across the product lifecycle, supply chain, and asset management...SAP will offer Siemens’ Teamcenter software as the core foundation for product lifecycle collaboration and product data management. Siemens will offer SAP® Intelligent Asset Management solutions and SAP Project and Portfolio Management applications to maximize business value for customers over the entire product and service lifecycle and enable new collaborative processes between manufacturers and operators.”
Based on the briefings and follow-up questions to date, the full details are still being worked out. This webinar will not focus on the technical aspects but will seek to put the partnership in a market and strategic context.
Read about CIMdata's initial thoughts on this strategic relationship in our highlight on the topic.
