We’re a world-leading provider of IT services, offering industry-specific IT solutions, the management of complete IT landscapes, systems integration and consulting services – all from a single source.
Christoph Kollatz, CEO
Since production processes can consume vast amounts of power, efficient energy use is vital if companies are to cut costs and reduce CO2 emissions. Our decentralized energy management systems enable customers to tailor the planning and control of power generation and consumption to their specific needs – thereby increasing overall data transparency, facilitating proactive and efficient business operations and benefiting the environment.
To keep pace with developments in today’s competitive world, business and administrative models must be constantly updated. It’s also necessary to cut costs, manage complexity, accelerate processes and strengthen customer relationships. With our extensive portfolio of innovative IT solutions and services, we’re helping companies and public authorities master the challenges of today – and tomorrow.
As part of a global, integrated technology company, we understand industrial and administrative processes from the ground up. Combining IT know-how, expertise in a wide range of technology fields and a comprehensive knowledge of our industry, we cooperate with the three Siemens Sectors to offer fully integrated, customer-specific IT solutions that intelligently network production and management levels. Public authorities, financial service providers and media and telecommunications companies are also benefiting from our innovative strengths and our skill in implementing complex projects quickly and reliably. Focused on IT services, we’re one of the world’s top ten providers of IT outsourcing services.
Customer satisfaction drives our business. As our extraordinarily high number of contract renewals testifies, we’re a reliable IT partner for the long-term success of both private- and public-sector customers.
With some 1,900 employees, we’re an international provider of business-to-business financial solutions, serving Siemens and other enterprises through a global network of financial companies.
Dominik Asam, CEO
Shifting demographics, increasing urbanization, climate change and globalization are driving investment in energy and water supply, mobility, infrastructure, security and healthcare – all areas in which our intelligent financing models are supporting vital investment projects. The medium-term refinancing of new energy-efficient technologies through energy savings is a prime example of our innovative approach. The financing of infrastructure projects through public-private partnerships is also gaining in importance. Investing our own capital, we recently contributed to the successful implementation of two such projects: India’s Bengaluru International Airport and the Particle Therapy Center in Kiel, Germany.
Our business strategy has three main goals: to boost Siemens’ sales by offering a wide array of financial solutions, to achieve profitable growth in our business with non-Siemens clients in order to strengthen our competitiveness and to further expand our role as a center of competence for financial risk management at Siemens.
We address customer needs with tailored solutions based on our expertise as a provider and purchaser of financial services. Our offerings include everything from sales, investment and working capital financing to treasury services, fund and pension management, insurance solutions and venture capital financing.
Like our customers, we aim to create value and enhance competitiveness. To achieve these goals, we rigorously leverage all our strengths: global presence, in-depth market knowledge, financial expertise coupled with industry know-how, effective long-term risk management, efficient processes and professional project management.
Even in the current financial crisis, we expect to further expand our profitable business as a reliable financing partner by successfully exploiting our solid refinancing base as part of a strong technology company.
