Core Facts:
- New Velocity Series products available this summer
- Solid Edge with synchronous technology combines direct modeling with dimension-driven design. New features include "Procedural Features" for parameterized edits without an ordered recompute, "Synchronous Solve" that allows edits regardless of creation order, "Live Rules" to infer function from existing geometry, and 3D "Driving Dimensions" that allow dimensional changes to completed models - all enabled by a new flexible user "Grab and Go" interaction paradigm.

- Teamcenter Express V4 cPDM features an embedded project and program management option for project managers and a lower cost web client for shop floor users. Web client delivers saves designers and engineers 10 to 12 percent of their time.
- CAM Express V6 NC programming features new cutting strategies for curve/edge and 3D profile cutting, optimized corner rounding techniques, smoother finish cuts through specialized point distribution, and new toolpath editing/dividing tools. New feature recognition and knowledge editor technology from Tecnomatix, can cut as much as 90 percent of programming time.
- Femap V10 features new meshing capabilities that automate current meshing technology, while adding new interactive meshing and model and element checking functionality. Also includes new pre-defined and standardized workflow methods.
- Velocity Series revenue growth has continued to grow at almost twice the 14 percent industry rate for the PLM mid-market.
- Velocity Series has been instrumental in Siemens PLM Software's channel expansion, which now has more than 425 channel partners globally and accounts for a third of Siemens PLM Software license revenue. In addition, nearly 90 percent of Velocity Series license revenue now comes from channel partners and more than 80 percent of Velocity Series channel partners now carry multiple Velocity Series portfolio products.

Quotes
Tony Affuso, chairman and CEO, Siemens PLM Software
"Two-and-a-half years ago we were the first to introduce a complete PLM portfolio to the mid-market," said Tony Affuso, chairman and CEO, Siemens PLM Software. "We are extremely proud of its track record and market adoption. Today the portfolio provides one of the highest growth rates in our product line. The commitment to a PLM portfolio that provides SMBs faster deployment, efficient distribution and low total cost of ownership has been critical to its success."
Bruce Boes, global vice president, Velocity Series Marketing
"The Velocity Series portfolio is unique in the industry," said Bruce Boes, global vice president, Velocity Series Marketing. "A completely scalable portfolio of PLM solutions with a focus on delivering pre-configured best practices has made Velocity Series products easier to implement and use, with one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the industry, while protecting SMB customer investment. We continue to provide advancements for all products while keeping them integrated. Velocity Series provides a completely unified CAD and PDM environment and full associativity between CAM and CAD, as well as embedded CAE in CAD. Most importantly for SMBs, the portfolio provides the ability to start anywhere and expand as needs develop."
Ed Miller, president of CIMdata
"Siemens PLM Software's Velocity Series has been one of the first to pursue a broad PLM approach for mid-market companies, and their experience in expanding customer implementations across multiple domains validates their standalone yet integrated product portfolio approach," said Ed Miller, president of CIMdata. "As with larger organizations, mid-market companies don't typically implement a complete PLM strategy at one time. Rather, they implement PLM through a series of steps that incorporate various processes and technologies at a pace that their organizations can accommodate. This allows them to realize both immediate and long-term value."
"I have not seen anything as exciting and innovative as Solid Edge with synchronous technology since the introduction of parametric modeling in the late 80's. Solid Edge has crafted a dramatic breakthrough by combining direct modeling, parametric modeling, and a new user interface. Siemens PLM Software has rethought how users can more easily model in 3D. Users should love how easy it is to build and edit models - all without any need to pre-plan how models might be used in the future. Solid Edge's competitors will be scrambling for years to catch-up."
