She added that the agency also sees the PLM project as an opportunity to consolidate its already established working methods in requirements management, product data management and configuration management, among others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Siemens was recognized as the strongest PLM player in the defense industry, with solution depth and breadth to support the SDMA&#8217;s large-scale enterprise implementation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Comprising over 1,000 users, there\u2019s no doubt this was an attractive installation. Unsurprisingly, representatives of most major players are present &#8230; Siemens came out as the winner. The company is perhaps the strongest PLM player in the defense field, and during 2018 took home a number of large orders from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and supplier companies in aerospace &amp; defense such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman and others.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SDMA chose to partner with Siemens Digital Industries Software and leverage the Teamcenter portfolio of product lifecycle management solutions including <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.plm.automation.siemens.com\/t5\/Teamcenter-Blog\/Take-Control-with-Cross-domain-Product-Design-Management\/ba-p\/610292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cross-domain design management<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.plm.automation.siemens.com\/t5\/Teamcenter-Blog\/How-integrated-requirements-un-bias-your-design-decisions\/ba-p\/572696\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">integrated requirements management<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.plm.automation.siemens.com\/t5\/Teamcenter-Blog\/Introducing-Teamcenter-Product-Configurator-for-Variability\/ba-p\/537627\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">configuration management<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full article, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineering.com\/PLMERP\/ArticleID\/19557\/Siemens-PLM-and-Unit4-Win-When-Swedish-Military-Bets-50-million-on-Platform-Standardization.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Siemens PLM and Unit4 Win When Swedish Military Bets $50 million on Platform Standardization<\/a>&#8221; on engineering.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo credit: engineering.com, image courtesy of Pia Ericson, FMV.  &#8220;Siemens had an advantage as Teamcenter is often used as a data backbone in aerospace &amp; defense.
