Reno Staschinski, Managing Director CIDEON Software GmbH & Co. KGv

CIDEON considers unified understanding of IT system openness in the PLM context. Openness is required for rapid and sustainable integration of innovations into PLM. Therefore, CIDEON’s aim is to implement the prerequisites and criteria of the CPO and actively support its further development.

Transparency is promoted by the CPO initiative and the associated use of open interfaces and standards. This is a major advantage for our customers because the more open standards used in an IT solution, the easier it is to integrate into existing system environments and business processes.

Karl Heinz Zachries

Openness is our DNA. We deliver solutions to our customers who rely on interoperable systems. The dream of the one system fulfilling all these needs in an ever changing global environment is – simply put – a waste of time and money.
