Lauri Põldre: Hi, this is GrabCAD at Hannover Messe 2011. I am talking to Eric Sterling, Senior Vice President, Marketing for Siemens PLM software. Mr. Sterling, what is your today’s innovation at Hannover Messe?
Eric Sterling: Well, tomorrow we’ll be announcing mobile device support for engineering community to grab information, look at information and understand what they need to do with that information. All from a mobile device like that.
Lauri Põldre: What have been the biggest engineering challenges and trends that will change the way you do product development at Siemens?
Eric Sterling: Well, from a product standpoint it’s complexity - complexity of cross-domain information that has to be related. Software, electrical and mechanical - it’s no longer just …? it’s the combination that forms the innovation. Cross-software, electrical and mechanical. So that’s driving us as a software company.
Lauri Põldre: Are you offering something for smaller companies?
Eric Sterling: Absolutely. As you can see, this is a very complex turbine engine. We deal with large enterprises that mill these all the way to smaller enterprises that would do a fixture like this or a mold like this. So from a software standpoint we have to be able to handle from the very small to the very large enterprises.
Lauri Põldre: Thank you, mr. Sterling.
