HP and Siemens PLM Software in Global Reseller Agreement of Product Life Cycle Management Solutions

HP and Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a provider of product life cycle management (PLM) software and services, announced a global reseller agreement allowing the companies to accelerate client adoption of software and services that reduce the time needed to implement PLM projects.

“More than ever, manufacturers must align their product development efforts more closely with their business strategy,” said 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.”

“Manufacturers need to improve the management of their product life cycles, while cutting costs and increasing quality control,” said Sandeep Johri, vice president, Enterprise Business Strategy and Industries, HP. “With HP and Siemens PLM Software, companies can redirect technology expenditures from infrastructure and application maintenance to attracting customers in new markets, combating growing supply-chain complexities or adhering to new compliance requirements.”

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 around the world. The companies claim the agreement will provide joint clients with a comprehensive range of software and professional services, including consulting and implementation, systems integration and application hosting as well as financing options.

“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.
