Siemens Software expands Xcelerator as a Service; SaaS business transition accelerating
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today that its transition to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) led business is progressing well and its momentum is increasing.
“Last year we announced our transition to a SaaS-led business and
introduced Xcelerator as a Service. Customers are responding enthusiastically –
ready to embrace the cloud to accelerate their digital transformations,” said
Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO and president, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Siemens
is transforming our business, so we can help our customers transform their
industries, making our portfolio easier to access, more open, and integrated.”
Xcelerator is Siemens’ comprehensive, integrated portfolio of software,
services and an application development platform, designed to help companies of
all sizes create and leverage digital twins that provide organizations with new
insights, opportunities and levels of automation to drive innovation.
Xcelerator as a Service (XaaS) makes the Xcelerator portfolio more
accessible, scalable and flexible, with a subscription offering that takes
advantage of cloud computing to provide powerful new capabilities across the
Xcelerator portfolio that is designed to help speed digital transformation for
Siemens’ customers.
Across the world, companies of all sizes are
adopting solutions from the Xcelerator portfolio to solve their business
challenges and drive competitive advantage. At the 2022 MAC, Siemens
highlighted how Italian startup
Nemo’s Garden and autonomous ocean data collection specialists,
Saildrone,
are taking advantage of the accessibility of Xcelerator as a Service to level
up their development efforts and to innovative more quickly. Global automotive OEMS such as
Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation and
Daimler Truck have both chosen Siemens’ Xcelerator as their platform of choice as
they explore carbon-neutral futures.
“When I first saw Siemens’ digital twin
technology, I was mesmerized. Nemo’s Garden is a one-of-a-kind system and we
need to adapt to each environment where it is to be installed. If you can model
that environment virtually before you start, you can foresee the challenges and
address them in the best way,” said Luca Gamberini, Co-Founder, Nemo’s Garden.
“We have seen benefits in understanding the flow of water around the shapes of
our biospheres. We have a greater understanding of the points of stress on the
structure around the biospheres. We also understand how the different
interactions of solar radiation, the temperature and all the physical factors,
act on the plants. All thanks to the ability of the digital twin to replicate
our system.”
Siemens is adding industry-leading design
and engineering software to Xcelerator as a Service with the new NX X, a
packaged solution that combines capabilities of Siemens’ NX™ software,
centralized storage capacity and native collaboration delivered via industry
leading hosting partners. With NX X, software upgrades, back-up and hardware
requirements are handled by Siemens and its hosting partners, making sure software
is up to date and running on leading-edge hardware.
Siemens Digital Industries Software is driving transformation to enable a digital enterprise where
engineering, manufacturing and electronics design meet tomorrow. The
Xcelerator portfolio helps
companies of all sizes create and leverage digital twins that provide
organizations with new insights, opportunities and levels of automation to
drive innovation. For more information on Siemens Digital Industries Software
