We’re not simply adding a new user interface on top of existing tools, basic file sharing capabilities or moving limited desktop CAD functionality into the cloud. We have spent considerable time talking with our community and have worked on our own technologies and developed our strategy to build something truly transformational – for Siemens and for our customers. We are transitioning to this new business model to fundamentally rethink the way our technology generates value for our customers and how we use the cloud to make our solutions more accessible, more flexible, and more scalable than ever. In June, at Siemens Capital Market Day, our president and CEO, Tony Hemmelgarn joined the Siemens Managing Board and leadership team to announce our intention to transition the Siemens Digital Industries Software business to SaaS (Software as a Service). Leading industry analysts, CIMdata, believes, “The Xcelerator portfolio provides the breadth and depth that manufacturing enterprises need to create a comprehensive, actionable digital twin and manage the complete product lifecycle from creation through production and service across a heterogeneous value chain.” While many companies claim to offer a digital twin, only Siemens has the toolset, domain knowledge and usage expertise to deliver the comprehensive digital twin with the fidelity and breadth that manufacturers need to thrive in a world of complexity and deliver the innovation that customers and the market demand. Through a comprehensive digital twin, organizations optimize their products and processes throughout the lifecycle.

Xcelerator enables innovative product design and manufacturing via robust digital threads that ensures data is accessible when and where it is needed.

When we introduced Xcelerator – an integrated portfolio of engineering software, services and an application development platform that brings together the industry’s broadest and deepest technologies available to make our industrial customers’ digital transformation goals a reality – we blurred the boundaries between engineering domains to help our customers speed digital transformation. Today is an exciting day for Siemens as we lay the foundation for the future of our software portfolio and for our community with the launch of Xcelerator as a Service (XaaS).
