When innovation can’t wait
From the first digital sketch of a concept car to the final test of a next-generation aircraft, every breakthrough begins with data. When milliseconds can define competitive advantage, infrastructure speed becomes a measure of innovation itself.

Engineering the future faster
Founded 176 years ago in Germany, Siemens has grown into a global technology powerhouse with more than 350,000 employees. Long known for its leadership in energy, transport, and infrastructure, it has evolved into one of the world’s most advanced digital-engineering companies.
At the heart of this evolution is Siemens Digital Industries Software, home to Teamcenter, NX, and a suite of design, simulation, and manufacturing tools used by the world’s leading innovators. From electric vehicles to industrial robotics, Siemens software enables organizations to transform complexity into opportunity.
Its open digital-business platform, Siemens Xcelerator, provides customers with the flexibility to integrate technologies, scale securely, and innovate faster than ever.
“Our mission is to help every customer turn their boldest ideas into working products — faster, smarter, and more sustainably.”
Dimitrios Dovas, Head of Product Cloud Management, Siemens
When innovation can’t wait
Great products can’t afford slow infrastructure. Entire industries depend on Siemens Teamcenter to turn ideas into reality.
Every delay in data access can ripple through an entire production ecosystem. For global manufacturers, that can mean millions in lost productivity or months added to a development cycle.
Customers demanded three things at once:
- Availability: Data must be secure, protected, and always accessible.
- Performance: Engineering teams working with terabytes — and even exabytes — of data require speed at scale.
- Interoperability: Seamless integration and recovery are essential for complex, distributed workflows.
Traditional approaches couldn’t keep up. Legacy systems strained under the pressure of growing workloads and geographically dispersed teams. Data silos hindered collaboration.
Siemens needed a new approach — cloud-first, intelligent, and built to perform without compromise.
“Teamcenter deals with enormous volumes of customer data. To keep pace, our customers need availability, performance, and interoperability at levels that traditional infrastructure can’t deliver.”
Dimitrios Dovas, Head of Product Cloud Management, Siemens
Built on trust and performance
Siemens reimagined Teamcenter as a cloud-native service, powered by NetApp®. With Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP delivering consistent storage and data services in the cloud, customers gained flexibility without complexity.
Together, Siemens and NetApp designed a foundation capable of handling engineering workloads at a global scale:
- Reliability at scale: Snapshot™, backup, and restore ensure data protection and confidence.
- Consistent performance: High throughput and low latency enable design and simulation workloads to run seamlessly.
- Hybrid continuity: Compatibility across on-prem and cloud deployments simplifies migration.
This consistency allows Teamcenter customers to innovate without worrying about data gravity, regulatory barriers, or unpredictable cloud expenses.
“Every innovation our customers create — from safer cars to smarter factories — depends on how well we manage their data.”
Dimitrios Dovas, Head of Product Cloud Management, Siemens
Speed, quality, and confidence
By modernizing Teamcenter in the cloud, Siemens empowered its customers to innovate faster and more freely than ever before.
- Accelerate product cycles: Automotive manufacturers can bring new vehicles to market faster, cutting development timelines by weeks or even months.
- Improve quality: Data consistency and reliable synchronization reduce errors and strengthen product reliability across complex supply chains.
- Lower costs: Consuming Teamcenter as a cloud service reduces IT overhead, infrastructure maintenance, and operational burden.
- Gain agility: Surging global demand for cloud deployments can now be met instantly, without physical bottlenecks or downtime.
For end customers, the impact is tangible: faster innovation, higher-quality products, and greater trust in the brands they choose. With NetApp providing the foundation for secure, high-performance data infrastructure, Siemens can enable the next generation of design and manufacturing breakthroughs.
“Our customers want to focus on building better products, not on managing IT complexity. With NetApp, we give them that freedom — today and for the future.”
Dimitrios Dovas, Head of Product Cloud Management, Siemens
What’s next: Cloud, AI, and the Metaverse
Siemens is building the next era of product innovation. Within the next three years, its entire software portfolio — from design tools to simulation to manufacturing — will be available in the cloud. Artificial intelligence will increasingly automate repetitive engineering tasks, freeing human creativity for higher-value design work.
Immersive visualization through digital-twin, omniverse, and metaverse experiences will reshape collaboration, allowing engineers on different continents to iterate together in real time. Seamless data integration across systems will continue to unify the digital and physical worlds, making production more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent.
Siemens isn’t just helping industries imagine the future: It’s engineering it.
“We see customers moving away from managing infrastructure so they can focus on building better products, faster.”
