SoftInWay Inc has joined forces with the software arm of German powerhouse, Siemens. The new partnership with Siemens Digital Industries Software means a vast expansion of the software portfolio for SoftInWay’s clients. Dr. Leonid Moroz, CEO at SoftInWay commented: “In today’s digital world the design process is interconnected and interdisciplinary. We have seen through many of our clients that our own flagship software AxSTREAM is often embedded in a bigger digital design process. Whilst turbomachinery is the heart of our business, it is often a subsystem of larger systems. The new partnership with Siemens enables us to provide those embedded interdisciplinary solutions for our clients as a single vendor.” The new offering includes software products from Siemens’ Simcenter brand, namely the multi-physics simulation software STAR-CCM+ as well as Simcenter 3D and Siemens NX, one of the most powerful CAD packages in the market.  Dr. Moroz continues: “Our customers’ success is

OpenText issued the 2020 Webroot Threat Report, highlighting not only the agility and innovation of cybercriminals who continue to seek out new ways to evade defenses, but also their commitment to long-established attack methods.
