Working together to enable
a new kind ofinnovationWhen IBM developed its vision of a smarter planet, it saw
the potential of pervasive data and connectivity to transform
the world in a positive way everything from cities to private
enterprise and from devices to the way in which they are man-
ufactured. That vision is becoming real in this era of big data
and hyperconnectivity. People and organizations are leveraging
information in fresh ways and collaborating more eectively
than ever before, using new tools.
Businesses around the world rely heavily on the ability to bring
people, processes and information together. Thats the key to
getting innovative products and services to market faster while
using fewer resources. For manufacturers and developers of
complex technology-based products such as mechatronics sys-
tems with embedded software, a new generation of integrated
product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions provides the
means to achieve this new, more agile kind of innovation and
thats where the team of IBM and Siemens PLM Software
(Siemens) comes in.
Today, leading PLM consultant firms1 place IBM as the leader
in PLM services. With decades of experience in technology
and business transformation, IBM has devoted extensive
resources to research and thought leadership. The result is
improved business outcomes for clients and something more
IBM is helping to redefine the way the world literally works.
At the same time, Siemens has earned the top ranking in the
fastest-growing product lifecycle management market segment
for 11 straight years.2 With IBM technology and supporting
services, the Siemens Teamcenter PLM platform makes prod-
uct innovation a strategic, enterprisewide collaborative eort,
fully integrating it into the business.
The two companies have formed a mutually supportive global
relationship with the goal of helping joint clients work smarter
by breaking down technology, process and information silos.
Its about helping information and ideas to flow freely andunlock the creativity of business professionals in all parts of
theorganization.
The value of a strong teamThe strength of the IBM and Siemens relationship is grounded
in its complementary nature. IBM has proven excellence in
systems, software and services a portfolio backed by real-
world knowledge and experience in building technology- and
information-based solutions thatwork. Siemens oers focused
expertise and class-leading PLM platforms, with a deep under-
standing of the entire product lifecycle and how it operates
across the whole value chain.
IBM and Siemens approach customers business challenges
holistically, looking beyond the PLM platform and its support-
ing infrastructure. IBM and Siemens can address every aspect
of the enterprise from strategic goals to operational details.
Its an end-to-end solution that spans everything from funda-
mental strategy to business processes, workflow management,
enterprise systems integration, partner interaction and more.

With IBM and Siemens, clients get a coordinated, collabora-
tive team with the dedicated knowledge and experience needed
to produce optimal business outcomes. By sharing knowledge
and working closely together on product development and
tuning, the two companies take advantage of one anothers
strengths to provide tailored solutions faster and more eec-
tively. It may be Siemens and IBM Global Business Services
professionals working together to deliver industry-specific
expertise, products that are certified and optimized for oneanother, or value-added services such as IBM Global Financing.
Integrated PLM means smarter
productdevelopmentTo remain competitive today, businesses must find new and
more ecient ways to innovate. In a climate of ongoing eco-
nomic challenge, productivity has become the prime focus. Its
about much more than eciency and cost cutting, however.
Quality must improve as well.
Any company that can optimize its operations to work more
eectively than its peers can gain a significant competitive
advantage. It will be able to bring new products and services
to market faster, responding to its customers better without
increasing costs.
In most enterprises, complexity and collaboration challenges
stand in the way of innovation. IT systems and business pro-
cesses are complicated and not well integrated. Information is
siloed and the intelligence locked inside data may go untapped.
In a product management environment, there may be multi-
ple development technologies and data models, inconsistent
databases and user interfaces. The overall picture is one ofinflexibility and opaqueness.
Siemens solutions, in combination with complementary
software, hardware and services from IBM, enable seamless
integration of product development and management func-
tions across the enterprise and with external partners. This
helps create an environment in which individual systems and
processes are combined into a unified ecosystem. Designers
are connected to procurement managers directly, so they know
if a proposed change in materials will fall within budget.
Factory managers and engineers are able to collaborate to opti-mize a new product for both function and manufacturability.
Corporate management has a window into the entire product
lifecycle that helps executives make decisions about future
direction faster and with greater confidence.
IBM and Siemens enable a smarter approach to product
development built on:
Information management and integrated analytics that tap
large volumes of complex data to generate the real-time
insight that users require to make accurate decisions.
Proven, agile architectures that integrate with existing
systems to protect investments, minimize the cost of owner-ship and help the business take advantage of change.
Improved collaboration capabilites that break down
organizational and technological barriers, helping to ensure
everyone gets information in the form best suited to their
job in the simplest, fastest way possible. Seamless enterprise integration that aligns PLM with
business processes and strategies, and delivers capabilities
eciently through cloud-based infrastructures.

The total solution is built on a combination of Siemens PLM
applications, and software, infrastructure and services from
IBM. These components dovetail to create an innovation capa-
bility that is deeply integrated with the enterprise as a whole.
Siemens Teamcenter: The heart of our solutions
Part of a portfolio that includes powerful CAD-CAM-CAE
and manufacturing solutions, the Siemens Teamcenter PLM
platform is a modular, service-oriented suite that addresses allaspects of product development and lifecycle management.
Its unified architecture and open connectivity enable it to inte-
grate with a diverse range of data sources, external tools and
enterprise systems.
Teamcenter gives customers a reliable, centralized source
of trusted design, product and process data a single, consis-
tent version of the truth that serves a reference standard
for all parts of the enterprise and value chain. This greatly
increases eciency while also eliminating many potential
sources oferror.
Due to its modular nature, it is possible for Teamcenter to
be configured as needed to interact with the customers legacy
systems, if needed. It is not necessary to rip and replace all
existing solutions to get the benefits of Teamcenter integration
However, a full Teamcenter implementation oers optimized
tools and resources for professionals across the enterprise. A
full move to Teamcenter can reduce complexity, simplify man-
agement and lower costs.

For example, when creating a new product that encompasses
both hardware and software, the two development eorts are
normally separated, using dierent tool sets. With Teamcenter,
software assets are managed as part of a single view of the
product as a whole. Physical product changes that may require
software rework are immediately shared and vice versa. Thats
the beauty of a unified platform.

IBM infrastructure: The operational backboneof SiemensPLMSiemens Teamcenter is fully certified for IBM PureSystems.TM
This family of expert systems is integrated by design for faster
deployment and reduced risk. With conventional hardware,
extensive configuration, integration and management activity is
required to get the optimal infrastructure in place. In contrast,
all PureSystems are pre-configured and optimized, delivering
a simplified experience for IT departments. This means muchless eort and expense, with no compromise on performance
or capability.
IBM PureSystems is an excellent building block for client-
managed private and hybrid public-private cloud deployments
that simplify access to the PLM platform for employees
wherever they may be. By combining PureSystems with IBM
SmartCloud Foundation, clients enjoy a head start on creating
their own clouds, through a packaged solution that incorpo-
rates key middleware and management tools.
Teamcenter is also supported by IBM SmartCloudTMEnterprise+ managed cloud service oerings. This powerful
delivery technology oers the choice of a globally accessible,
secure infrastructure as a service or a fully managed IT and
middleware platform as a service. A managed cloud infra-
structure using the latest technology helps protect investments
and avoid obsolescence while, at the same time, retains full
control over the application and database environment. IBM
SmartCloud Enterprise+ simplifies application and workload
management, performance optimization, security and usage
metering. IT administration becomes much more streamlined
and productive, enabling the business to become more agile.

IBM software: Enriching the capabilitiesof SiemensPLMsolutionsThe technology supporting and surrounding the PLM
platform is vitally important. IBM provides all the necessary
components, from infrastructure oerings to critical middle-
ware and database software. Thats what provides the basis forPLM integration and extensibility across the enterprise.
Siemens has partnered with IBM to oer Teamcenter precon-
figured for and bundled with a customizable set of key IBM
software and middleware oerings. This packaged approach,
called the IBM Blue Stack, greatly speeds time-to-value for
new deployments while reducing implementation risk.
Core components include the award-winning IBM DB2
database and IBM WebSphere Application Server. DB2 is
highly secure, storage-ecient and oers outstanding perfor-
mance to improve productivity while reducing cost and risk.
It can also be leveraged as the database for the clients enter-
prise systems, providing better use of IT investments and
further reducing complexity. WebSphere Application Server
allows simple access to Teamcenter data and functionality via
the enterprise network and through the web, with full supportfor clouddeployments.
IBM Tivoli products make the PLM platform and its admin-
istration more ecient, reducing administrator workload
and reducing the cost of operations. Tivoli Access Manager
provides secure, automated, policy-based management of
user accounts and passwords. It spans systems and platforms,
enabling single-sign-in at the enterprise level to make the
users interaction seamless. Tivoli Storage Manager transpar-
ently manages diverse storage resources, optimizing utilization
for higher data availability. This keeps productivity high and
costslow.
IBM software also complements Teamcenter with enhanced
functionality for product development and collaboration.
Rational ClearCase, for example, oers complete software
configuration management. It provides sophisticated version
control, workspace management and parallel development
support to improve productivity. Developers around the world
can work together in real-time, or take a snapshot view and

work independently. ClearCase allows developers to store
software with the mechanical, electronic and electric design
definition of the product in Teamcenter to ensure that all
changes are carried forward without error or version issues.
Both are extremely customer-focused
organizations that execute well on theirvision...this alliance [could] acceleratethe adoption of PLM as a product man-agement strategy, giving organizations
greater agility and fidelity in product-wide analytic and decisionmaking.
