Leading the Way:

The renewable energy industry is driving the transition towards a sustainable world. But as the cost of generating wind energy falls, competitive pressures rise.

How can Siemens Gamesa take full advantage of the opportunities and maintain its leading position in this dynamic and rapidly changing industry?

IT will continue to be a key role as the company moves through the current stage of its L3AD2020 program: Leveraging economies of scale. The ongoing program of landscape consolidation and simplification by pursuing a platform-based strategy will enable you to shut down redundant legacy applications and increase investment in the future with intelligent technologies like AI, machine learning, advanced analytics and Internet of Things.

How can OpenText help?

In a data-driven world, information governance will be the glue that binds this new, more efficient IT landscape. We would like to draw your attention to how OpenText solutions can work with all your core applications – including SAP, SalesForce, Oracle and Microsoft – to take your information management capabilities to the next level.

In the following pages, we focus primarily on the digitalisation module: Turning data into value. We also aim to show how Siemens Gamesa can benefit from OpenText Enterprise Information Management solutions to gain the information advantage.

We hope you find this brief overview useful, and we look forward to extending our working relationship moving forward.

“Today, we maintain the industry’s largest amount of historical data – more than 190,000 turbine years’ worth of insight.”

Activity Report, Annual Report 2018

In today’s data-driven world, information and knowledge are a company’s most valuable assets. Yet protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your data can also be the toughest challenge.

Data is coming from everywhere and needs to be consumed anywhere. But this data often sits in siloes across different parts of the business and is managed on outdated legacy systems. As data volumes grow exponentially and the regulatory environment tightens, data governance is becoming increasingly difficult and the potential financial penalties of non-compliance more severe.

A holistic approach to data governance is therefore essential.

Across all areas of the business, companies need the ability to:

• Quickly and easily locate and analyse information
• Securely retire legacy applications and dispose of data safely
• Centrally manage and govern data
• Effectively collect and cull data

How can OpenText help?

An Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform will allow Siemens Gamesa to unlock the value embedded in information and content and achieve better business outcomes. A standard, user-friendly platform across all three business units will enable you to:

• Manage information flows
• Increase productivity
• Drive efficiencies
• Make more informed business decisions

OpenText Solutions for SAP enable ECM by providing a simplified way to bring all content into your SAP business processes. With flexible deployment options, you can set up content in the cloud, on-premise, or as a hybrid solution.

Optimising the use of your data assets can help you achieve better business outcomes faster. Some of the benefits Siemens Gamesa could expect include:

Connect content to processes

Connecting content to digital business processes accelerates productivity, improves governance, and drives digital transformation. Users can work in their lead applications (SAP, Salesforce, Oracle or Microsoft, for example) and access relevant information when they need it.

Increase speed to market

OpenText AppWorks provides a single platform for process automation, case management and low-code application development. Quickly automating complex business processes enables better decision making and improves the customer experience.

Improve the customer experience

Empower your marketing and other teams to augment current systems of record (including MRM, CRM, ERP) capabilities and intelligently create, individualise and deliver true data-driven omnichannel experiences at scale.

Streamline information across the business network

Create a seamless, secure flow of information across extended business ecosystems of people, systems, and things. Simplify inherent B2B complexities and provide insights to drive efficiencies and accelerate time to revenue.

Leverage the power of AI and advanced analytics

Gain deeper insights and make smarter, more informed decisions. Combine the power of intelligent technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, text mining and Big Data processing with enterprise-class business intelligence, data discovery and reporting.

Make your information more secure

Keep your company information safe and secure. Digital information security solutions can protect your sensitive information, reduce risk, and help you respond more effectively to cyberthreats.

Manage the entire information lifecycle

Manage the entire e-discovery lifecycle – information management through collection to review and production – with an integrated suite of capabilities to lower e-discovery risks and standardise processes while reducing end-to-end costs.

The best-run businesses are data, process and content driven. SAP and OpenText are committed to helping deliver on this promise by helping customers gain the information advantage to become intelligent.

An intelligent enterprise makes optimum use of its data assets to achieve business outcomes faster – and with less risk. Data feeds intelligence, which in turn feeds the process automation and innovation that are vital in helping renewable energy companies like Siemens Gamesa to achieve breakthrough levels of efficiency and productivity.

By connecting processes that span several applications, you can leverage intelligent technologies like automation, machine learning, IoT and advanced analytics to streamline your supply chain and asset management so you can continue to drive down costs and compete more effectively.

As Siemens Gamesa consolidates and builds for the future, OpenText solutions can enhance your existing SAP investments across the three essential components of the Intelligent Enterprise:

Intelligent Suite

Intelligent, integrated applications that enable customers to automate day-to-day business processes.

Digital Platform

Facilitates the collection, connection and orchestration of data and integration across the intelligent suite.

Intelligent Technologies

Embedding intelligence in applications to enable customers to use data to detect patterns, predict outcomes and suggest actions.
