Top winners included Bas Bolhaar of Bosch Engineering BV in the Netherlands for Best Channel Velocity Portfolio Sale of 2007, and Poland-based CAM Division as Best New EMEA Channel Partner.

The Summit was an important milestone in the recognition of the synergies between Siemens PLM Software and its partners, and demonstrated the power of the complete portfolio in collaborative selling, according to Angus Marshall, director, Sales and Channel Programs, EMEA, Siemens PLM Software.

“We called this Summit ‘Sell the Power’ as we wanted to demonstrate how collaborating with our partners allows us to bring a complete portfolio to a competitive market and succeed,” Marshall said. “Seeing such an array of worthy winners and exciting customer success stories underlines how important the partnership approach is, and will continue to be, in staying ahead of the pack in EMEA.”

Günter Rester, director manufacturing industries - PLM solutions at Microsoft, also praised the event for giving the Siemens PLM Software partner community a forum to meet, exchange ideas and build on its combined success.

“A collaborative approach is what PLM is all about, and the Siemens PLM Software EMEA Partner Summits have always been a forum where collaboration is the most important factor – something which Microsoft is pleased to share in,” he said. “The mix of product updates, motivational sessions and access to senior figures from the partner community has set everyone up to win – and continue to win throughout 2008.”
