HP and Siemens PLM Software Collaborate on Product Life Cycle Management

By DE Editors

HP and Siemens PLM Software have announced a global agreement allowing the companies to accelerate client adoption of software and services designed to reduce the time needed to implement PLM projects.

The agreement expands the existing relationship between Siemens PLM Software and HP, enabling clients to source PLM software products, hardware, and services directly from HP.

“More than ever, manufacturers must align their product development efforts more closely with their business strategy,” says Joe Barkai, program director, IDC Manufacturing Insights. “This means teaming with global partners who can combine the PLM technology and business process expertise to get the job done.”

The agreement allows HP to expand its ability to directly sell PLM products and services globally, in addition to designing, developing, and deploying complete Siemens PLM Software solutions for enterprise businesses. Joint clients can benefit from a range of software and professional services, including consulting and implementation, systems integration, and application hosting as well as financing options.

The companies also announced their collaboration with Malaysian automobile manufacturer Proton Holdings Berhad (Proton) in support of its globalization plan. 

“Siemens PLM Software is thrilled to announce our joint customer, Proton Holdings Berhad, as we announce the expansion of our exemplary relationship with HP to drive further value for our global clients,” said Paul Vogel, executive vice president, Global Sales and Services, Siemens PLM Software. “Siemens PLM Software remains focused on not only developing innovative solutions for our clients, but on creating partnerships that help streamline clients’ access to those technologies. With our new agreement and HP’s presence in key target markets and industries, we can help deliver a comprehensive range of PLM solutions that help clients turn more ideas into successful products.”

Proton is teaming with HP to implement Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter software, which will integrate Proton’s product life cycle processes from all related departments such as management, sales and marketing, engineering, sourcing,  manufacturing and service.

The PLM solution also will help Proton to reduce its product costs, enabling it to reuse parts from its previous platform, delivering information to sourcing groups for better cost savings, and enabling costs to be managed early in the new product introduction process.
