Siemens and IBM partnership

Optimize product lifecycles and improve traceability across processes with Siemens and IBM collaborative software solutions for systems engineering, service lifecycle management and asset management.

Reimagine systems and service lifecycle management

Speed up innovation and time to market, and ultimately improve quality and lower costs with software solutions from the Siemens and IBM partnership. Improve traceability across processes, prototype and test concepts much earlier in development, design for sustainability and service, and close the loop between service operations and engineering.

Access software that supports traceability and sustainable product development using a digital thread that links mechanical, electronics, electrical engineering and software design and implementation. It spans the product and service lifecycle, from early design and manufacturing to operations, maintenance, update and end-of-life management. It helps OEMs and asset owners/operators improve the quality of the information provided to operations teams for service efficiencies while feeding service history back to engineering and supporting continuous product improvement.

These solutions weave and integrate IBM and Siemens software in an accelerated lifecycle management platform available across multiple industries and customer profiles, including:

  • Automotive and transportation
  • Aerospace and defense

Automotive and transportation

Software is developed in a Spec-Design-Build practice outside the product lifecycle and THEN integrated on the right-side of the V where problems are discovered. Integrating software development with the product lifecycle transforms automotive development to an Integrate-THEN-Build practice.

Aerospace and defense

Software is developed in a Spec-Design-Build practice outside the product lifecycle and THEN integrated on the right-side of the V. Integrating software development with the product lifecycle transforms aircraft development to an Integrate-THEN-Build practice.

IBM and Siemens partner to deliver service lifecycle and asset management excellence

In this video, IBM Senior Technology Manager Ashok Kumar and Siemens Teamcenter Product Manager Brian Johnsen talk about the value of bringing together solutions from the leader in enterprise asset management (EAM) with IBM Maximo - and the leader in PLM with service lifecycle management (SLM).
