No question, cloud computing and a well-executed SaaS strategy are critical to a successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/your-success\/digital-transformation-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital transformation<\/a>. It\u2019s important to realize that a digital transformation can manifest in a number of different ways. It might be the introduction of new processes or methodologies. New ways to solve common problems. Automation on the factory floor. Dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siemens.com\/us\/en\/company\/environmental-society-governance\/environmental-action.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7ueErMeR_wIVpBStBh3cqABaEAAYASAAEgLFkvD_BwE&amp;acz=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainability<\/a> challenges. Of course, a digitalized work environment means new and more efficient ways for industry to build or manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New ways to fly\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do you get there? Perhaps a SaaS-based model is something you\u2019ve been considering, but you\u2019re just not sure what steps to take first? One possible first step is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/digital-transformation\/cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visit Siemens Xcelerator as a Service<\/a> \u2013 a portfolio of cloud-based and SaaS products and solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Siemens and AWS partnership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/digital-transformation\/cloud\/siemens-aws-partnership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siemens and AWS partnership<\/a> makes digital transformations come true for a variety of businesses. Think of what the combined forces of a premier global tech company and one of the world\u2019s leading cloud services provider can offer. Siemens and AWS have been working together on cloud-based solutions for almost ten years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, you can see the current line-up of Siemens SaaS offerings on <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/marketplace\/seller-profile?id=1ee9ac08-183a-4e55-9c78-68f32906ece1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AWS Marketplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that Siemens SaaS solutions are not just for the huge enterprises with mega-millions to spend. The startups and small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) also find equal value in our SaaS solutions. Smaller businesses have limited resources and thin profit margins so everything has to be exact with little room for error. Small companies often scale their operations based on current needs and market demands. As business needs evolve a SaaS solution can scale right along with you. That\u2019s the beauty of a SaaS offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A SaaS solution sets you free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the size of business or industry the one benefit our customers find most surprising when they adopt a SaaS solution is how it opens up their thinking. They are suddenly more agile and resilient. With SaaS, SMBs can run state-of-the-art simulations without having to invest in hardware or infrastructure. What took weeks, even months to complete, now takes days. <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/partners\/success\/space-perspective-siemens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Take a look at the success Space Perspective enjoyed with the Siemens and AWS partnership<\/a>. Yes, we know about increased efficiency, improved productivity and faster times to market. These are, indeed, the benefits of SaaS. But enabling teams to think more creatively, to dream of numerous \u201cwhat if\u201d scenarios (and not jeopardize timelines) and explore the deepest recesses of their imaginations is an equally important advantage of a digitalized SaaS environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-395x222.jpg 395w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/06\/SP_Exterior_Hero-Space_240722-900x506.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Siemens and AWS partner Space Perspective: Using a Siemens SaaS solution (Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+) on AWS Cloud, Space Perspective reduced analysis time from one week to 12 hours for structural, thermal and other factors that impact capsule design.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create without limits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Siemens and AWS partnership has an expression for this type of activity, we call it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/digital-transformation\/cloud\/siemens-aws-partnership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201ccreate without limits.\u201d<\/a> And it\u2019s this type of thinking that will lead us into a new era of technological breakthroughs whether it\u2019s a new product, service or how we manufacture things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A digital transformation in the cloud allows teams access with no restraints, users can personalize with no restrictions and scale their operations without boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s how companies will learn to fly in the exciting times ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/digital-transformation\/cloud\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/digital-transformation\/cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siemens Xcelerator as a Service<\/a> website for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Scott Salzwedel is a senior communications and technology writer for Siemens Digital Industries Software.
