In today’s world of highly specialized products, general software solutions fail to meet the needs of fast-moving companies in competitive markets. Extensive software customization efforts along with complex, time-consuming implementations make it difficult for companies to quickly capitalize on the potential benefits these solutions can offer. Only by working with solutions built for the particular processes and in the specific language of an individual industry can companies leverage these technologies at the speed that today’s products demand.

That’s why more than a decade ago Siemens PLM Software began establishing industry-specific steering groups comprised of select groups of forward-thinking customers considered leaders in their industries and innovative in their use of our technology. These steering groups focus on business processes unique to their industries, the challenges associated with those processes and the new concepts that will dramatically improve them.

Siemens PLM Software also draws great insight from the rest of the Siemens AG family of businesses. To create the technologies and innovations of tomorrow, the experts at our integrated technology company cooperate across organizational and regional boundaries, working closely with customers, universities, research facilities and industry partners worldwide. And because Siemens is an engineering company that develops and manufactures world-class products, our solutions reflect the requirements of real world companies in today’s market.

With this well-established expertise in industries and our dedicated industry working teams, Siemens PLM Software developed the Industry Catalyst Series. Each catalyst provides organizations with industry best practices, deployment accelerators and configurable solution components. As the name implies, this approach to PLM accelerates the time and value of each industry implementation while providing an environment for swift adoption of new technology.

No matter what industry you’re in — automotive or aerospace, electronics or energy, marine or medical, machinery and more — Siemens PLM Software helps you build your digital enterprise with a software solution that’s right for you.
