Integware, Siemens Partner for Medical Device Industry

Integware officials announces that they have signed a services and systems integrator partnership agreement with Siemens PLM Software, a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) Software and Services. Integware has focused for nearly twenty years on extending PLM across all product-related processes in the medical device industry. Its platform neutral development approach enables it to combine unrivaled Life Sciences expertise with Siemens PLM Software Teamcenter software, the world’s most widely used digital lifecycle management solution. The companies will work together to configure fast, scalable, integrated PLM solutions that meet the unique needs of individual customers.

“Our company looks forward to working with the Siemens PLM Software team to provide the Life Sciences industry with solutions that help maximize the speed and quality of product development and minimize the risk and effort associated with regulatory compliance,” says Chris Kay, Integware’s CEO. “Customers benefit when we can offer our solutions on whatever platform best suits their needs, and they will appreciate the option of using the powerful and versatile Teamcenter technology.”

Integware recently presented a case study of a solution for Life Sciences PLM using Teamcenter at the Siemens PLM Connection Americas Users Conference 2011. The study described an innovative and successful extension of the Teamcenter requirements management capabilities to address 21 CFR part 820 compliance for product R&D at a Fortune 50 medical device company. Integware’s implementation of Teamcenter had excellent results, enabling up-to 70 percent reuse of existing design information.

“This impressive implementation has reinforced my confidence that the Integware-Siemens PLM Software partnership will deliver immense value to many of our customers,” Kay states. “We are proud to have met the rigorous certification requirements for the Siemens Solution Partner program, and believe a creative collaboration will provide significant business opportunities for both companies.”
