I learned a lot from this. I certainly had not known Siemens is good at software. I had a biased & ignorant opinion that their role is to employ a lot of people and collect state subsidies. A reminder that bias is self-defeating and opinion without data is delusional.

Thank you!

Great write up. Siemens has an extensive software products beyond PLM, CAD and EDA. I was at their software conference this year and they are developing some impressive AI capabilities as well as connecting related products. It would be interesting to have a deeper follow up on comparing the leader’s product lines.

Excellent breakdown on the moats in physical design software.

Having used these tools before my pivot to tech, I find this an exceptionally well-researched case study on value chains and defensive barriers to entry in a niche but crucial product category.

Thanks for sharing, Eric.
