This podcast discusses how the cloud changes the product development process, fundamentally impacting how a business operates. Machine builders can blend their engineer-to-order (ETO) and configure-to-order (CTO) demands. Engineer-to-order (ETO) comes inherently with increased risk of doing something for the first time, so it naturally follows that companies must find ways to reuse previous designs, leading to a configure-to-order (CTO) way of working. In our third podcast in the Teamcenter...

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is architected to be the most flexible and secure cloud computing environment available today. The core infrastructure is built to satisfy the security requirements of the military, global banks, and other high-sensitivity organizations. In addition, AWS uses the same secure hardware and software to build and operate each of the regions and service offerings to associate that it is supply-vetted and accepted as safe enough for top-secret information, benefitting all...

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet. We have all become users of cloud solutions, often starting with our mobile phones and backing up data to iCloud or Google Drive. However, SaaS applications have become more pervasive in our work lives, with companies like Salesforce leading the way with CRM and Microsoft moving from selling the office suite to a cloud service for document creation and storage. Our host Chris Pennington, Global Industry...

Low-code was not built as a full replacement hard coding. In fact, in most cases, it complements it by accelerating the software development process. It therefore shouldn’t be viewed as the answer to everything even though it’s a perfect answer for many scenarios. The challenge is identifying which these scenarios are and proving that it is actually effective for them. That’s why testing out a low-code platform by building a minimum viable product is important before making a decision on...

In safety-sensitive industries such as aerospace, management needs to keep detailed logs of all their processes. This makes the industry very cautious when adopting any changes. They don’t just run towards the next flashy innovation before thoroughly understanding what its impact on their compliance is. They want efficient systems that are consistent and enable them to remain audit-ready. That’s where low-code comes in. With just some minor changes in what team members do, it is able to...

Most established organizations are very protective of their legacy systems even when they are clearly inefficient. That’s because their employees’ vast knowledge on how to operate those systems is a big asset to them. They view investing in new systems as possible opportunities that are beyond their risk tolerance. Low-code systems are perfect for such organizations because the transition is fast and many features can easily be customized to meet their needs. It also provides them with an...

Change is inevitable for any organization looking to remain relevant or progress. However, implementing it is not easy because people who are used to doing things a certain way will likely view it with suspicion. This is one of the biggest obstacles that CTOs that wish to introduce their developers to low-code platforms face. Many software developers are reluctant to embrace it because they feel that it’s here to replace them. It is therefore important for a CTO to explain the value that...

Low-code helps companies build applications faster without the need for a large specialized team to start the process from scratch. That speed is just one part of low-code’s magic! Another factor that makes it stand out is the flexibility that comes with the hand-coding capability. Hand-coding capabilities allow companies to build customized applications that deliver the most value to them. This is important for companies that operate in a highly regulated space or have complex business...

Low-code platforms are a great solution when you want to achieve accelerated digital transformation at a lower cost. But, can it really work for big industrial environments?

One of the most impactful steps that manufacturers can take to set themselves apart is by making quality a priority in every process related to the product. Failure to do this can lead to costly recalls and loss of market share to competitors who might be deemed to have superior products. This is why many companies have adopted a quality culture that traverses all departments that are involved in the manufacturing process. I’m your host, Bettina Pruemper, with Siemens Global Marketing, and...

Cost has been historically considered an important driver for every business, and sometimes choices to reduce it have been made to the detriment of ensuring quality. But, on the flip side, ensuring quality is the best way to control unexpected costs - and this is a fact that many manufacturers who have incurred the high cost of recalls or faced other quality compliance issues would agree with. By digitalizing quality management, companies can easily turn this delicate aspect of production...
