- Smart Infrastructure (SI) to acquire Brightly, a leader in
cloud-based asset and maintenance management software
-
Perfectly complements Siemens’ digital offerings for buildings, with
strength in asset and energy management
-
Acquisition puts Siemens in pole position to address fast-growing
software market for buildings and built infrastructure
-
Purchase price of USD 1.575 billion plus earn-out
Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI), the frontrunner in digital buildings, has
signed an agreement to acquire Brightly Software, a leading U.S.-based software-as-a-service
(SaaS) provider of asset and maintenance management solutions. The acquisition elevates
SI to a leading position in the software market for buildings and built
infrastructure. The purchase price is USD 1.575 billion, plus an earn-out. The
acquisition will add Brightly’s well-established cloud-based capabilities across
key sectors – education, public infrastructure, healthcare, and manufacturing –
to Siemens’ digital and software know-how in buildings. It also accelerates the
build-up of Siemens’ SaaS business and enables Siemens and Brightly together to
deliver superior performance and sustainability for built infrastructure. Brightly
is expected to benefit from Siemens’ global presence, while Siemens leverages the
software provider’s footprint in the U.S. market. Siemens will realize significant
synergies between Brightly’s capabilities and its own portfolio with an
expected mid-triple-digit million net present value. The transaction is subject
to regulatory approvals, with closing expected in calendar year 2022. The
acquisition will be EPS
accretive pre-PPA in the second year after closing.
- Siemens to supply fluorine gas-free blue GIS medium-voltage switchgear to Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke (LKW)
- Climate-neutral insulation gas Clean Air replaces the greenhouse gas SF6 and dispenses with all other fluorinated gases
- Investment in climate protection and supply security in Liechtenstein
Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke
