particularly gratified to have been positioned in the leaders
quadrant, which we believe reflects our success in balancing the
UGS-Siemens integration with our continuing ability to perform well
in the market and stay clearly focused on supporting our
customers," said Tony Affuso, chairman and CEO of Siemens PLM
Software. "In the meantime, we continue to advance our vision of
enabling Global Innovation Networks, which the world-class
resources and commitment of Siemens will strengthen as we go
forward." With its Teamcenter 2007 portfolio, Siemens PLM Software
supplies the digital PLM backbone that keeps more than 40 BSH
factories around the world consistently updated with the latest
product information," said Uwe Tontsch, head of IT for Product
Development and Industrial Engineering Solutions, BSH. "The product
consolidation in Teamcenter 2007 has lead to the creation of a
total solution portfolio. While there is still progress to be made,
Siemens PLM Software is very well positioned to support BSH with
its current and future PLM requirements in the area of digital
product development and digital manufacturing. They are the right
choice as a strategic PLM partner for BSH and they gave us full
confidence they could help us achieve our product development
goals." According to Gartner, Inc., "Manufacturing PLM leaders
command not only a firm grasp of today's evolving PLM market
conditions, they also see and convincingly communicate the future
opportunities of cross-functional, enterprise-oriented PLM
applications that support commercial activities with
product-centric content." The evaluation process involved the
assessment of companies' overall viability; its product; sales
execution and pricing, and market responsiveness and track record.

and its marketing, sales and product strategy. The full report,
