LAS
VEGAS, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Realize LIVE
-- Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today an expansion
of its partnership with Microsoft to make the
Siemens Xcelerator as a Service portfolio of industry software
available through Microsoft's cloud and AI platform Azure and
integrating it with generative AI and Copilot features. This will
increase flexibility and choice for Siemens' customers and make
Microsoft's industry-leading AI solutions more accessible to
Siemens customers.
"Our customers have asked for Siemens to bring our industry
leading industrial software to Azure," said Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO and president, Siemens
Digital Industries Software. "Siemens and Microsoft have been
partners for more than 35 years, and we are pleased to expand this
partnership so we can best enable our customers to digitally
transform through our joint solutions."
As a first step, Siemens will deliver Teamcenter® X software,
the rapidly scalable and secure PLM solution, on Microsoft Azure,
enabling customers to implement their mission critical solutions on
their preferred cloud and AI platform. Built on the same trusted,
robust and secure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) architecture used by
some of the world's leading manufacturers and innovators,
Teamcenter X empowers teams to start fast and get their product
data under control, enabling them to reduce cycle time, minimize IT
costs and speed innovation. With the availability of Teamcenter X
on Azure, organizations can benefit from Microsoft's responsible AI
tools and access to enterprise-grade security.
This continued collaboration builds on the launch of the
Teamcenter app on Microsoft Teams which connects frontline factory
and service teams to the design and engineering teams through
Siemens' industry-leading Teamcenter software for PLM. The new app
takes advantage of the latest advances in generative AI and Natural
Language Processing: With Azure OpenAI in Azure AI Studio, Siemens
developers have built custom copilot functionality to enable
frontline workers to access the engineering enterprise from the
palm of their hand and collaborate in more inclusive ways.
Siemens is also developing a Copilot for Microsoft 365 plugin
for the Siemens Teamcenter app on Teams, enabling workers across
the entire product lifecycle and value chain to better track and
prioritize their workloads. They will be able to ask Microsoft
Copilot for help with summarizing outstanding tasks and workflows
out of the comfort of their Teams app. To deliver new features like
these to customers as fast as possible, Siemens developers are
using GitHub Copilot.
"As Microsoft and Siemens continue to deepen our collaboration,
we are excited to bring the power of Azure AI to the Siemens
Xcelerator portfolio to meet growing market demand and help
businesses focus on delivering differentiated customer value
faster. By harnessing our latest advances with generative AI and
Copilot capabilities, together we empower design engineers,
frontline workers and teams across business functions and
geographies, unlocking new levels of customer-centric innovation
and productivity," said Nick Parker,
President, Industry & Partnerships at Microsoft.
