Lake Buena Vista, Florida –
Engineering is an official partner of Siemens Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Division. Our partnership with Siemens PLM is one of the strongest and longest standing for our company. Engineering and our PLM team were invited to participate in last week’s 2016 America Solution Partner Conference “Converge,” held in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Engineering was presented an award by Siemens PLM for the company’s success in 2015, having achieved the largest percentage of their sales target of all the partners in North America.
The work Engineering does, the solutions we provide, and our company’s partnership with Siemens PLM is driven by the common goal of helping our customers achieve a fully optimized digital enterprise, which is better equipped to initiate and/or respond to disruptive innovation. We believe that companies and customers that adopt this approach will be the future leaders of the industry – more efficient, more flexible, more innovative and more financially successful.
Engineering has built a leading PLM practice and a strong loyal customer base leveraging the Siemens Smart Manufacturing Suite and helping companies to bridge the gap between engineering and manufacturing in order to achieve the efficient, fully automated digital enterprise. Engineering looks forward to continuing to build a strong relationship and partnership with Siemens moving forward, and is committed to another successful year (and many more after that) for this initiative.
In addition to attending the conference, Engineering’s executive team was asked to present and help kick start this year’s event. Chris Draska, Director of Operations at Engineering North America, first spoke during the general session opening, discussing Engineering’s unique partnership with the Siemens PLM division. He gave insight into our company’s success and achievements in the Siemens PLM space last year, speaking about leveraging the Siemens partner sales strategy.
Engineering’s team also led break-out sessions aimed to discuss the new vision for the future of manufacturing IT in light of the rapid innovation and technological changes affecting the global market. The sessions focused around the major industry and business implications of the current era of the “Internet of Things” and “Big Data,” not to mention the many challenges these create for the manufacturing sector. In today’s world of smart, connected products, where entire markets can vanish with a single innovation, manufacturers must take a new approach to business. Traditional measures of success – quality, cost, speed – are no longer enough. The most successful companies will digitalize their entire innovation process and weave a digital thread through ideation, realization and utilization.
