Page 5Siemens PLM Software Trends & Challenges Innovation & Time to Market Global Competition Asia no longer just extended work- bench, they offer their own products at lower prices More money needed for marketing, travel Sustainability Quality & Cost Pressure Client requires more energy efficient products Legislation demands lower CO 2 emission for production & transport Continuously reduce production and logistics costs Meet high quality & safety standards, despite reduced time for testing and commissioning Frequent product innovation required Less time & money for prototyping Time-to-market is ever more important

Page 6Siemens PLM Software Think for a moment…  "$9 billion per-year could be saved in Germany alone through the use of simulation Professor Dr. Warnecke, former President of Fraunhofer-Institute, Germany  The plant is too expensive to be used as an experimental environment and time is too precious to be wasted.  Therefore simulation is an efficient tool for developing and testing new and innovative production concepts!“ Can I afford simulation? How long can I afford not to use simulation?
