Xcelerator as a Service (XaaS) – Siemens takes power of Xcelerator to the Cloud

Siemens Digital Industries Software has long touted the importance of Digital Transformation to meet challenges and leverage opportunities presented by Industry 4.0, which is characterized by the growing trend toward increased automation, machine learning, interconnectivity and “smart factories” to revolutionize manufacturing technologies and processes.  As proof, one need look no further than the comprehensive portfolio of interoperable CAD, CAE, CAM, ALM and PLM solutions Siemens compiled since 2007.  

However, Siemens took things even further with the introduction of Xcelerator in 2019, which harmonized their industry-leading software portfolio under a single integrated platform with a common UI, dedicated services and a low-code application development platform for rapid customization.  And now, Siemens has made Xcelerator more flexible, scalable and accessible with the introduction of Xcelerator as a Service, or XaaS.  

XaaS (pronounced “zass”) is a secure, cloud-based subscription offering for the entire Xcelerator Portfolio.  This allows customers of any size to leverage the benefits of a fully integrated digital enterprise at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the risk relative to traditional on-premise perpetual license options.  

Moreover, Siemens provides the flexibility to choose any combination of XaaS and on-premise licensing to meet a customer’s particular business needs.  By contrast, most competitors in recent years have eliminated all on-premise license options; forcing their users to switch to a cloud-based format whether they wanted to or not.  

Bottom line is that XaaS is the latest example of Siemens Digital Industries Software’s long-standing commitment to offer the most comprehensive platform to achieve Digital Transformation and thrive in this latest industrial revolution. 

“Xcelerator as a Service gives customers the power of the world’s most comprehensive digital twin – now in a more accessible, scalable and flexible form.”
