Update on IBM/Siemens PLM: it’s going well

My recent conversations with IBM about the change in its relationship with Dassault Systèmes naturally led to questions about how the closer integration with IBM and Siemens PLM is going. No details were provided but it does sound as though the partnership is at least meeting expectations: the team is actively engaged at a number of accounts, in various industries, all around the world. There may soon be a two to three success stories in automotive; in addition, two to three more engagements are underway in new solution areas in automotive and aerospace and one in an electronics account “where Siemens was not the incumbent.” That’s pretty good, considering that the partnership was only announced in June, with product releases following this summer.
