EDS Services to Integrate with Siemens Teamcenter
PLANO,
TX and FARNBOROUGH, England, July 15, 2008 - EDS, a leading global
technology services company and Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the
Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of
product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced
that the two companies have joined to deliver a best-in-class Defense
Logistics Solution that leverages EDS’ extensive aerospace and defense (A&D)
logistics experience and internationally known IT infrastructure services,
along with Siemens PLM Software’s industry-leading Teamcenter software
portfolio.
This unique Defense Logistics Solution enables aerospace and defense
OEMs, suppliers and defense services/agencies to significantly reduce the
time, risk and expense associated with fulfilling defense logistics and
performance-based logistics (PBL) contracts. Anticipated benefits include
improved product quality, by following product configurations into the
service stage of the product lifecycle, tracking product/part performance
and capturing feedback to improve next-generation products; improving
service by leveraging the solution’s rules and roles to protect and deliver
the most current operational information available; and gaining global
support, with the two companies’ presence in more than 60 countries around
the world.
“As the A&D manufacturer’s business ally, EDS brings extensive experience
and service expertise in the implementation and management of defense
logistics and MRO business activities,” said Joan Davies, EDS segment leader
of aerospace and defense. “Together with Siemens PLM Software, we can
deliver a best-in-class solution for managing supply chains, support
processes, assets and metrics associated with PBL programs, which can be
rapidly deployed and operational, while maintaining the flexibility to
adjust to varying customer requirements.”
EDS will deliver the logistics and A&D experience, local presence and IT
solutions needed to integrate the people, systems and processes required to
rapidly deliver a strategically effective solution for PBL programs.
The solution is based on Siemens PLM Software’s comprehensive Teamcenter
software portfolio for PLM including maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO).
The new offering is tailored to the needs of organizations that support and
service complex, long-lifecycle products such as aircraft, weapon systems,
ships and power plants.
“Today’s announcement represents a major step forward for our defense
industry customers who need to expeditiously fulfill PBL contracts and drive
profitability,” said Steve Bashada, vice president of Teamcenter
Applications, Siemens PLM Software. “Together with EDS we have created a
flexible turnkey offering that will not only streamline the planning and
deployment of the IT infrastructure and security requirements associated
with PBL contracts, but also greatly simplify their administration. As the
leading global supplier of PLM software to the aerospace and defense
industry, we are proud to deliver this latest example of our continued
industry support and to extend our commitment to deliver full lifecycle PLM
from requirements to retirement.”
PBL contracts establish a series of performance metrics that
manufacturers, systems integrators and sustainment enterprises are measured
against. In order to ensure success and maximize profits, defense
contractors need to minimize the time necessary to become operational on any
given PBL contract while ensuring they can track, measure and manage their
progress with respect to the PBL metrics. To accomplish this, the Defense
Logistics Solution combines recently announced service data management and
logistics records management capabilities in the Teamcenter solution for MRO,
with tailored EDS services and global capabilities.
Visitors to the
Farnborough International Airshow will find EDS in the Exhibitor’s Club
Restaurant & Bar, Hall 1A, and Siemens PLM Software in Hall 4, Booth E17.
