CIMdata Publishes eBook: Making Service Lifecycle Management A Profitable, Competitive Advantage

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Jan. 26, 2021 - PRLog -- Today, CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, published a new eBook focused on describing the characteristics of a modern service lifecycle management (SLM) solution and how Siemens Digital Industries Software (Siemens) SLM strategy and solutions incorporate them. This eBook describes how a robust SLM solution can enable a company to aggregate, contextualize, simulate, and analyze operational data captured from managed assets into actionable insights that can drive service planning, improve design for serviceability, and optimize asset in-service use and operations.

Siemens' SLM solution, built on its Xcelerator portfolio, is a comprehensive, integrated suite of software and services augmented by key relationships with third-party service application providers. The core of the SLM solution is Teamcenter SLM, which provides a comprehensive enterprise backbone that manages a complete digital thread of service-related information and enables a comprehensive performance digital twin. Key is Teamcenter's ability to manage large, complex, multi-variant configurations that encompass all the mechanical, electrical/electronic, software, and documentation components of any serviceable asset. Siemens' open approach fully supports the three key areas of SLM—Service Engineering, Service Operations, and Asset Performance Management.

According to Mr. Ken Amann, CIMdata Executive Consultant, "Siemens' pragmatic approach to delivering open SLM solutions provides the breadth and depth that enterprises need to create a comprehensive, actionable digital twin and manage the complete service lifecycle across a heterogeneous set of extended enterprise solutions. This enables companies to create new business models and turn service into a competitive, customer loyalty building advantage."
