Today sees the launch of the new Group 'Siemens IT Solutions and Services' and the announcement of its Group Executive Management team. Siemens has pooled its worldwide IT and software know-how in the new Group with a view to consolidating its global IT expertise. Siemens IT Solutions and Services offers industry-specific IT solutions and outsourcing and supports other Siemens Groups with software and IT expertise. Five Siemens IT and software houses have been merged to form the new Group, which has 43,000 employees and sales of about 5 billion euros: Business Innovation Center (BIC), Development Innovation and Projects (DIP), Program and System Engineering (PSE), Siemens Business Services (SBS), and Siemens Information Systems Ltd. (SISL).
More than half of Siemens' sales is already software-dependent - and the figure is increasing all the time - and the development in IT services is similar. "IT know-how is one of the keys to Siemens' success," says Dr. Christoph Kollatz, Group President Siemens IT Solutions and Services. "That's why we've taken the various units that were scattered throughout the company and made them into one new, powerful Group with comprehensive IT and software expertise."
The new Group is in a very promising position. No other IT provider has such close links with a global industrial corporation like Siemens and benefits from access to its customers and the excellent industry know-how of its Groups. Siemens IT Solutions and Services has a strong international setup and, thanks to the integration of the PSE sites in Eastern Europe and Asia as well as SISL in India, has a significant presence in low-wage locations.
