Siemens expands strategic partnership with eQ Technologic
eQube Data as a Service (DaaS) delivers enhanced industrial digital threads through purpose-driven integration of IT, OT and ET solutions
eQube DaaS extends Mendix Data Hub for seamless, self-service access to data resources
Siemens Digital Industries Software enables a more seamless integration and orchestration of data and processes across the entire Xcelerator portfolio through an extended strategic partnership with eQ Technologic(eQ). As a result of the longstanding relationship between Siemens and eQ, Siemens customers can now access the eQube® Data as a Service platform to create digital threads that link Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Internet of Things (IoT) and other information technology (IT), engineering (ET) and operations (OT) solutions. eQube is further expanding the Mendix Data Hub, a key component of Mendix's extended low code platform. The solution can help to realise industrial data and system integrations with a rich set of over 60 intelligent connectors developed based on domain-specific knowledge gained from over 20 years of experience.
"Siemens and eQ have successfully used the proven eQ technology for many years to help customers in various industries to integrate and link data and processes across systems," said Tony Hemmelgarn, President and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software. "The expansion of our joint partnership can help us build on this success and expand globally in all the industries we serve".
In many companies, data is distributed across multiple systems and generated by a variety of applications. As digital transformation has become a core business strategy, these companies are under immense pressure to gain collective insight into the distributed data and link it without replication. The eQube DaaS platform builds an interconnected network of integrated data, applications and devices that provides end users with powerful analytic capabilities and leads to actionable insights. The partnership can help Siemens customers to make better use of information from multiple systems by creating an integrated data environment for their digital threads, multi-application integrations, orchestration and virtualisation through appropriate industrial integrations. In this way, specific business problems can be solved.
As a first step in the expanded partnership, Siemens will offer the eQube DaaS platform with more than 60 intelligent connectors including PLM, ERP, Asset Management, ALM, IoT, Program & Portfolio and databases, and use the eQ team for pre-sales, services and field support. By leveraging the eQube DaaS platform in conjunction with the Mendix low code application development platform, users can easily access data from multiple systems to automate new workflows and create new deeply integrated applications and experiences. With better understanding through traceability and actionable insight into cross-system data, Siemens customers can reduce the resources required and accelerate their transformation into digital enterprises.
"As a long-standing partner of Siemens, we understand the need and challenge to link data and processes in the digital enterprise - including a wide range of PLM products such as Siemens' Teamcenter, ERP, ALM, MES, Asset Management, other enterprise software products and IoT," said Dinesh Khaladkar, President and CEO of eQ Technologic. "Expanding this partnership can help Siemens' customers accelerate digital transformation by connecting and integrating their systems. eQube solves complex integration problems easily and helps companies gain actionable insights and improve collaboration.
