Why partner with a partner?

The power of partnership

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

African proverb

We, at Siemens Digital Industries Software, believe this proverb to be true not only for why we partner with partners but why customers want to partner with a partner. To achieve scale and success, business leaders need help and more specialized skills to support their key business challenges and differentiated capabilities that enable them to compete more effectively.

With the drive toward digital transformation and the need for more specialized skills, imperfections become opportunities that necessitate leveraging partners to fill the people, resource and technology gaps for any one or more of the following areas: changing business models, unique IP, skills or solution offering, trusted advisor relationship, training and support, procurement preferences, on-going services, support and specialized knowledge.

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”

Henry Ford
