NAA Event Review: Siemens – Digital Transformation
Last month saw NAA member Siemens host us at their Manchester headquarters to share their work on Digital Transformation.
Dave Sutcliffe, Head of Automotive, welcomed delegates and gave an overview of the Siemens organisation, highlighting that Digital Transformation and Sustainability are key current topics for Siemens across all four of its divisions:
• Industry
• Infrastructure
• Mobility
• Healthcare
Vinnie Morton, Digital Enterprise UK Strategic Sales Lead then gave an overview of the Siemens Xcellerator and highlighted the challenges to digitalisation and explained that the key to success for Siemens is based on three pillars:
• Portfolio
• Ecosystem
• Marketplace
Siemens Xcelerator is an open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster and at scale. It takes an easy, open and flexible approach to solving challenges, where clear technical and commercial governance is the foundation, to facilitate co-creation and collaboration between partners, customers, developers and Siemens. Those are the key design principles ensure the highest standards and value for all parties.
Participants were then given a series of practical demonstrations at the Digital Experience Centre tour, where they were able to view a number of industrial applications first-hand.
