Top IT Magazine Declares Siemens the Leading PLM Vendor throughout India
Dataquest Magazine Ranks Siemens' PLM Technology Number One in one of the World's Fastest Growing Economies Two Years in a Row

Gurgaon, Haryana, India, Thursday, November 29, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- For the second consecutive year, in its DQ Top 20 PLM Industry Report, Dataquest magazine, India's top information technology (IT) publication, has declared that Siemens PLM Software is the leading PLM vendor throughout India, one of the world's fastest growing economies. The findings are based on an in-depth analysis of India's PLM market and are detailed in Dataquest's DQ Top 20 PLM Industry Report.

The DQ Top 20 Industry Report is an in-depth analysis of India's PLM market. The most recent report states that PLM solutions are increasingly permeating the manufacturing ecosystem in India, and in fact, India's PLM market grew 8 percent from 2010 to 2011.

The automotive industry continued to be the key driver of PLM solution adoption in India, followed by heavy engineering and industrial machinery. These industries also saw an increase in the adoption of PLM solutions by mid-tier manufacturers.

The report also highlights the growing trend of 3D-based PLM applications and the increasing acceptance of these applications in manufacturing environments. Siemens offers two PLM applications that support 3D design, NXT software, a leading integrated set of solutions for computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE), and Solid Edge® software, a 3D CAD system for the mainstream market.

The Dataquest findings further indicate that leading PLM vendors in India are now focused on moving beyond metros (the four large cities throughout India including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai) and traditional manufacturing hubs and extending their solutions to new markets. Siemens' set of open PLM solutions help enable this expansion with offerings like its Teamcenter® portfolio, the world's most widely used digital lifecycle management software, and the Tecnomatix® portfolio, its industry leading digital manufacturing software.

"India is an important market for us and Dataquest's top ranking two years in a row indicates we're providing the open PLM technology that's enabling companies to make the right decisions in order to produce superior products," said Suman Bose, vice president and managing director, Siemens PLM Software, India. "We're seeing PLM strategies of Indian manufacturers growing in both a broad and deep manner, driving adoption of PLM solutions to support the entire product development process. Dataquest's recognition is truly an honor for us."

Machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies promise a future where machines will now be connected through the internet and will actively communicate with each other, transmitting vital data to a central location.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family. As India stands on the cusp of becoming one of the growth engines of the world, ensuring that every Indian enjoys this right is imperative.But consider this: 65 per cent of our population does not have access to modern medicine, only 13% of the population have access to a primary healthcare centers and less than 10% have access to a hospital. It is even worse if one looks at the rural/urban divide: about 80 per cent of doctors, 75 per cent of dispensaries and 60 per cent of hospitals are located in urban areas.

"It is this anomaly that we want to change. Access to a primary healthcare system in India is perceived a challenge, the Virtual Medical Kiosk devised by ehealth Access aims to change this perception forever," said Mr. Jayadeep Reddy, CEO and Founder, ehealth Access.

The medical kiosk will act as a bridge to bring the medical practitioner closer to the people in need for medical consultation.

This will be the corner stone for making India Healthy by 2020."
