Siemens Nixdorf Information Systems Telecom

Siemens Nixdorf Information Systems (SNI) AG, Paderborn, the largest European IT supplier, was formed in 1990 by the merger of the Data and Information Systems Group of Siemens AG, Munich, and Nixdorf Computer AG, Paderborn. Siemens Nixdorf is a separate company within the Siemens organization with its own legal identity. All shares are owned by Siemens AG.

Siemens Nixdorf is, today, one of the fastest-growing players in the global IT arena. Siemens Nixdorf's success is directly attributable to its ability to realign itself to meet the market changes that present such a great challenge to the entire Information Technology (IT) industry.

With our "User-Centered Computing" paradigm, Siemens Nixdorf has put our user in the focal point of our product and solution developments. It is Siemens Nixdorf's conviction that "User- Centered Computing", which affords simple, user-friendly handling of tomorrow's IT infrastructure, will be the paradigm in the years to come. With our portfolio of offerings, Siemens Nixdorf will be helping our customers to evolve in paving the way for this paradigm.

Siemens Nixdorf recognizes Asia's position as the world's fastest-growing market, therefore, our corporate vision is to develop additional business outside Europe and Germany. Based on this strategic goal, Siemens Nixdorf established its Telecommunications regional headquarters for the Asia-Pacific market in Sydney, Australia.

Supporting central business functions are Centers of Excellence (COE) and Headquarters (HQ), which operate at strategic locations throughout the region on a decentralized basis. These provide our clients, and the Siemens Nixdorf regional country, operations with technical support and consultant services. One of these decentralized centers operates from Jakarta.

Siemens Nixdorf in the Asia-Pacific Region aims to be a billion dollar company by 2000, offering Solutions, Products and Services.

With the emergence of the IT Division of PT Siemens Indonesia (Siemens Nixdorf), operations were streamlined to focus on key markets, such as telecommunications, finance, insurance, retail, government and utilities, industry, electronic printing and also on a nationwide service and consultancy network.

This network concentrates on developing long-term partnerships with its customers, either via the Siemens Nixdorf branch office or via qualified Siemens Nixdorf partners. By developing these partnerships, Siemens Nixdorf is able to understand its customers' business operations and the problems they face in the industry, thus providing tailored solutions to meet individual requirements.
