Cybersecurity ist längst kein reines IT-Thema mehr – sie betrifft das gesamte Unternehmen. Doch während die Bedrohungslage zunimmt, geraten viele Security-Verantwortliche an ihre Belastungsgrenzen: zwischen 24/7-Verantwortung, wachsenden Anforderungen und dem ständigen Innovationsdruck.

IT-Betrieb und Cybersicherheit stehen heute unter extremem Druck: steigende Komplexität, wachsende regulatorische Anforderungen (NIS2, DORA, KRITIS), chronische Ressourcenknappheit – und gleichzeitig eine Bedrohungslage, die keine Verzögerungen duldet. Trotzdem agieren viele IT- und Security-Teams noch immer in Silos. Die Folge: ineffiziente Abläufe, Tool-Wildwuchs, langsame Reaktion auf Vorfälle und unklare Verantwortlichkeiten.

La dette technique est comparable à la négligence des réparations d'une maison. Ignorer un toit qui fuit peut faire gagner du temps aujourd'hui, mais cela pourrait conduire à l'effondrement du plafond plus tard. Pour remédier à la dette technique, il faut trouver et réparer ces fuites dès maintenant et mettre en place un plan d'entretien de la maison afin qu'elle soit prête pour les extensions futures. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, il faut définir des priorités stratégiques, communiquer clairement avec les parties prenantes et établir une feuille de route à long terme pour la modernisation. Cet événement se déroulera entièrement en français.

Siemens connects frontline workers and engineers for real-time problem-solving using Azure AI
Siemens Digital Industries Software saw the need to enable better communication and collaboration for the industrial companies that use its software. The company envisioned an AI-powered collaborative app to help people solve challenges together, and feel more connected and included as part of the larger organization. Siemens DI decided to work with Microsoft, and to use Microsoft Azure AI.
Accelerating groundbreaking transformation for industrial and manufacturing customers is the driving force behind Siemens Digital Industries Software.
A division of Siemens AG, a German multinational technology conglomerate, Siemens Digital Industries Software provides a comprehensive portfolio of cutting-edge software, hardware, and services for design, manufacturing and product lifecycle management across industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, battery, medical, consumer products, marine, energy, and semiconductor.
With products becoming increasingly smart and connected, Siemens Digital Industries Software saw the need to help its customers improve cross-functional communication. The company envisioned an AI-powered collaborative app to help people working across product lifecycles close feedback loops faster, solve challenges together, and feel more connected to the larger organization.
Making problem reporting easy
Siemens Digital Industries Software has long collaborated to support customers using Siemens software together with Microsoft solutions including Microsoft Teams. At many companies, shop floor workers do their best to type and report issues as they could. “But imagine you’re on a fast-paced factory line and you see a problem. Maybe you have gloves on, maybe you’re not speaking a language that is the same language as the software that has been implemented to track that line,” says Joe Bohman, Executive Vice President of PLM Products at Siemens Digital Industries Software “The reality is problems won’t be reported if it’s too hard.”
With a long-standing relationship between Siemens and Microsoft—over 35 years of joint innovation—it was a natural choice for Siemens Digital Industries Software to work with Microsoft and use Microsoft Azure AI to produce an innovative solution for their customers. Together, the companies created a Microsoft Teams app for their Teamcenter software, Siemens’ industry-leading product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. Designed specifically to improve communications across the product lifecycle, the solution builds upon the collaborative platform of Teams, with the language model capabilities in Azure OpenAI Service and cutting-edge capabilities in Azure AI Studio, including prompt flow.
Siemens Digital Industries Software customers had been relying on the user-friendly features of Teams like push notifications to simplify workflow approvals, reduce the time it takes to request design changes, and speed up innovation cycles. But issues that could turn into larger problems were getting missed because reporting often happened later in the product development process or not at all. Siemens developers combined Teams capabilities with Azure AI and its comprehensive suite of tools, including prompt flow in Azure Machine Learning, to streamline workflows that included prototyping, deployment, and service production.
Empowering workers to shape design and process
Now Siemens Digital Industries Software customers will be able to use the app’s “Tell Me” feature on their mobile device to document issues and report concerns using natural speech in real time. With Azure AI, the app can parse informal speech data no matter the language, automatically creating a summarized report and routing it within Teamcenter to the appropriate design, engineering, or manufacturing experts—in the specific language they require.
The solution is currently in pilot form with a few Siemens Digital Industries Software customers. Solution’s official release set for December 2023.
“We feel Azure AI and Azure AI Studio are powerful and inclusive tools that align with our values of innovation and transformation that empowers people,” says Joe Bohman, Executive Vice President of PLM Products at Siemens Digital Industries Software “We’ve had a long history working with Microsoft, and we’re happy to move into the next era of ongoing AI innovation together.”
