UGS PLM Software Expands Velocity Series Channel
UGS PLM Software , a division of Siemens Automation and Drives ( A&D ), announced that GrandTech CG Systems Inc. and CADMEN Group's Flowmen Technology Company Ltd. are now members of its Global Channel Partner Program and are authorized to sell the company's UGS Velocity SeriesT solutions in Taiwan.
"Taiwan's mid-size manufacturers have always been the moving force of the local economy," said Hans-Kurt Lübberstedt, senior vice president, Asia Pacific, Siemens UGS PLM Software. "Facing constantly changing and complex product development processes, they have to make good use of PLM tools and build their procedure knowledge bank so that R&D personnel can quickly obtain the necessary information. This enables them to compete with their larger counterparts around the world."
"We are glad to welcome GrandTech and Flowmen, two powerful names in the industry, as partners. We believe that their professionalism and technical service capabilities will bring high-quality and cost-effective PLM solutions and services to Taiwan's growing businesses," added Lübberstedt.
"Taiwan's mid-markets understand the role of product launch timing in shaping their market competitiveness," said Peter Hung, general manager of Grandtech CG Systems. "Thus, lower-cost PLM systems such as UGS Velocity Series allow them to upgrade product development flows, while at the same time improving the relevant management qualities of product development lifecycles. By obtaining distribution rights for UGS Velocity Series, we can provide, through many years of experience in drawing and multimedia, an excellent tool for PLM for local manufacturing industry growing businesses."
Nerow Yang, Chairman of Flowmen Technology, noted that in the face of global competition, the manufacturing industry has to confront the issues of how to carry out product innovation and joint development so as to shorten product lifecycle, two factors that determine a company's continued survival. "Our participation in the UGS PLM Software's channel program will undoubtedly boost our expertise and operations advantages in R&D services and consultant work as we offer low-cost, high-efficiency PLM solutions and services to mid-size manufacturers in Taiwan. Flowmen has already integrated UGS Velocity Series solutions with various types of CAE-optimized design analysis solutions in an effort to provide the industry with the most beneficial integrated R&D platform and tools," added Yang.
