In response to this shifting landscape, Atos and Siemens have leveraged their long-standing, powerful strategic alliance<\/a> to launch the very first specific global manufacturing initiative to accelerate Smart Factory Programs.<\/a> This joint approach opens the way for manufacturers to digitally transform, stay ahead of the competition, and drive meaningful business outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our vision for manufacturers focuses on deploying innovative, sustainable, and decarbonized services, technologies and solutions for clients worldwide. By building agile and responsive ecosystems to stay ahead of the competition, enterprises can manufacture a new future by leveraging success from the past. Our collaboration methods harness and leverage data to monitor, interpret and respond in real-time to both internal operations and across extended global supply chains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Manufacturers ready to take the leap and digitally transform their organizations can gain significant rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 43 percent of businesses are encountering so many roadblocks, they\u2019re now reporting digital transformation fatigue.<\/p>Annual Manufacturing Report 2020<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The Atos and Siemens Alliance for Manufacturing intelligently scales selective capabilities critical for success, including the combination of both the technology and business functions. Traditional roadblocks such as being unfamiliar with new systems, limited skill sets and financial challenges are addressed and imaginatively resolved with a joint manufacturing approach that blends Atos Manufacturing\u2019s Smart Factory solutions<\/a> and the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This allows our joint solutions to go beyond proofs-of-concept and use cases, and instead tangibly illustrate how to scale manufacturing success. When technology is implemented locally, scaling can appear to only relate to management and coordination, which typically results in many enterprises experiencing eroding profits or reaching a dead end with their innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you combine Siemens\u2019 global digital product and software portfolio with Atos\u2019 secure and decarbonized digital platforms and services, you can access the knowledge and expertise of the most up-to-date manufacturing technologies and industry know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a valued Siemens partner<\/a>, Atos is uniquely positioned to manage the whole end-to-end value chain of data with a proven industry-specific solutions and services portfolio. Combining global insights with local expertise enable successful, scaled collaborative innovation with clients. Our Alliance focuses on activating successful methodologies to accelerate the digital transformation journey by identifying performance gains, mapping capabilities and actionable consultancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years, the Atos and Siemens Alliance has been powerfully transforming manufacturing enterprises worldwide through business and technology accelerators. We have combined our global capabilities and know-how in computing, analytics and IOT to help customers overcome the most complex digitalization challenges and realize opportunities through valid scale adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Darren Laurie is Atos\u2019 Global Client Executive Partner, overall responsible for the relationship with Siemens Digital Industries. This includes the strategic Alliance where he is deeply involved in the execution of the joint go-to-market with Siemens Digital Industries, their business units, and regional sales teams.
