Siemens AG
has launched an open digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator, to

digital services from across Siemens and certified third parties; a growing
ecosystem of partners; and an evolving marketplace to facilitate interactions
and transactions between customers, partners and developers.
Siemens Xcelerator is an open digital business platform — consisting of
a curated portfolio, ecosystem and marketplace — to accelerate digital
transformation and value creation for our customers. A business platform
creates value by facilitating interactions and fostering innovation between
multiple parties (customers, partners, developers etc.). It enables digital
transformation easy, fast and at scale.
Roland
Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, said: “Siemens Xcelerator will make it
easier than ever before for companies to navigate digital transformation –
faster and at scale. By combining the real and the digital worlds across
operational and information technology, we empower customers and partners to
boost productivity, competitiveness and scale up innovations.”
“Our leading
portfolio is transformed towards more open applications, with more cloud-based
and as-a-service solutions and IoT-enabled hardware that can be constantly
upgraded. At the same time, collaboration will reach a new level with a growing
ecosystem of partners.”
“Today’s
launch of Siemens Xcelerator, this week’s acquisition of Brightly Software and
our expanded partnership with NVIDIA are major milestones in implementing our
strategy to accelerate high-value growth,” Busch concluded.
Enabling digital transformation, easier, faster
and at scale
The open
digital business platform creates value for participants by facilitating
interactions and fostering innovation between multiple parties – customers,
partners, developers etc. as no one can do it alone. With the launch of Siemens
Xcelerator, step-by-step, Siemens will transform its entire portfolio of
hardware and software to become modular, cloud-connected and built on standard
application programming interfaces (APIs). The highest standards and value for
all parties will be ensured by strong technical and commercial governance
principles. Siemens and third-party offerings will adhere to the design
principles of interoperability, flexibility, openness and as-a-service.
New SaaS launch – Building X
Siemens
announced today the first new SaaS offering as part of Siemens Xcelerator. Building
X is a new smart building suite to create a single source of truth (SSOT) that
takes complexity out of digitalization and supports customers to achieve their
net zero goals. It is an end-to-end data and analytics suite breaking down data
silos across domains such as energy management, security and building
maintenance. Building X is a modular, fully cloud-based open software
suite, with AI enabled applications, strong connectivity and built-in
cybersecurity.
On Monday,
June 27, 2022, Siemens announced the agreement to purchase Brightly Software, a
leading U.S.-based asset and maintenance management software company. The
acquisition will add Brightly‘s well-established capabilities across key
sectors to Siemens’ digital and software know-how in buildings. It will be a
core element of the Siemens Xcelerator for Buildings portfolio.
Siemens also
plans to integrate its industrial internet of things (IIoT) solutions for
industry as Industrial Operations X, which brings together solutions and
applications from sensor to edge to cloud, IoT as-a-service and low code
development capabilities, as well as a wide range of ready-to-use-apps. It
enables the fusion of data from the real world of automation with the digital
world of information technology, enriched by Siemens’ comprehensive vertical
IT/ OT integration knowledge and capabilities. Breaking down data silos will
help companies to increase their performance, productivity, flexibility and
sustainability.
Partnership announced with NVIDIA for new era
of immersive digital twin technology
Siemens
commits to join forces and grow a strong partner ecosystem, building on
existing strategic partnerships including Accenture, Atos, AWS, Bentley,
Microsoft and SAP. The intention is to expand the partnership ecosystem with
small, medium and large companies.
The first
major partnership agreement under the Siemens Xcelerator umbrella is with
NVIDIA. The two companies today announced an expansion of their partnership to
enable the industrial metaverse and increase use of AI-driven digital twin
technology that will help bring industrial automation to a new level. As a
first step in this collaboration, the companies plan to connect Siemens
Xcelerator, the open digital business platform and NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform
for 3D-design and collaboration. This will enable an industrial metaverse with
physics-based digital models from Siemens and AI-enabled, physically accurate,
real-time simulation from NVIDIA where companies make decisions faster and with
increased confidence.
Confirmation of digital growth strategy and
goals
The launch
of the Siemens Xcelerator platform is the logical next step in Siemens’ digital
strategy. Siemens will be able to unlock significant value for existing and new
customers, especially new ones in the segment of smaller and mid-sized businesses.
As part of
the launch, Siemens confirms its growth targets for digital business announced
at the last years’ capital market day, of a compound annual growth rate of
around 10 percent over the business cycle. Digital revenue in fiscal year 2021
stood at €5.6 billion. The launch of the business platform is also consistent
with its move towards as-a-service offerings and will bolster the aim of
increasing annual recurring revenue.
Roland Busch
added: “This is the logical next step in the implementation of our
digitalization strategy to enable even faster innovation and value creation.
Siemens Xcelerator brings the power of our focused technology company together
with a thriving ecosystem of technology partners. We are joining together to
simplify digital transformation so that customers of all sizes can benefit at
speed and scale.”
