Summary
Omneo is a cloud-based software as a
service (SaaS) solution for product
performance intelligence. The base
configuration of Omneo includes the
unified data foundation, Omneo Data
Quality solution and Omneo Fast
Contextual Search solutions.
Product intelligence is difficult to obtain
in a complex global-value chain. Data is
disparate and often inaccessible, yet
customers increasingly demand more
rapid resolution of product issues.
Omneo cleanses, unifies, searches and
drills down into contextualized big data
to deliver product performance
intelligence.
Omneo significantly reduces the cost
and time spent searching for the source
of value chain problems, enabling your
teams to focus on solutions. Empower
your global decision makers with the
intelligence needed to rapidly resolve
value chain problems, increase revenue
and improve customer satisfaction.
Creating the complete big-data
picture
Omneo connects your products with a
worldwide value chain by unifying all
your big-data sources such as product
lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise
resource planning (ERP), manufacturing
execution systems (MES), quality man-
agement systems (QMS) and customer
relationship management (CRM) into
one easily accessible hub. Providing the
ability to search across billions of sup-
plier, manufacturer and customer field
data events in seconds for the first time
gives you the complete picture of your
big data. You can trust this comprehen-
sive big-data picture to make
data-driven decisions because Omneo
only leverages clean data.
Omneo enables you to use a single
source of data to manage more than:
2 billion annual events
1 million customers
80,000 parts
1,600 products
200 suppliers

Unified data foundation
The unified data foundation is the core
of Omneo, seamlessly connecting your
product with upstream data from
design, manufacturing and suppliers, as
well as downstream data from the
Internet of Things (IoT), warranty
repairs and customer service. For the
first time, you can experience a com-
pletely visible, unified value chain for all
of your products. Gone are the days of
spending countless hours and resources
trying to consolidate disparate, siloed
data sources from a global supply chain.
Keys to building a strong foundation
Read Establish the raw data stream
from the supply chain data source. Data
streams can be automated, semiauto-
mated or manually connected. Raw data
is then read into the software.
Validate The extract, transfer and
load (ETL) layer validates the raw data
to ensure it conforms with your master
data management and data governance
rules. Nonconforming data is stored
separately for analysis, ensuring your
unified data foundation contains only
clean data.
OMNEO
Normalize To begin unification, the
normalized data inside the proprietary
ETL layer enables the synchronization of
disparate data sources and types.
Create the Event Descriptor
Framework (EDF) The proprietary
EDF synchronizes multiple data types
into a common language for describing
data. The EDF then acts as a processing
framework and engine, enabling rapid
access to big data.
Modeling and configuration A
contextualization layer is then added to
further configure data structures.
Modeling translates these structures
into user-friendly syntax.
Load and index Layering structures
on top of the contextualized common
language provides additional applica-
tions and creates a user-friendly user
interface (UI).
The power of contextualized
intelligence
Unified data is the only way to gain a
complete picture of your product. By
spanning siloed, disparate data sources,
the unified data foundation provides
you with the precise data required for
more accurate decision making across
all parties.

Companies can now align resources to
focus on product challenges instead of
data manipulation.
No more dark data
Every company has data that is going
untapped or is inaccessible. This is also
known as dark data. What if this type of
data is the key to uncovering the source
of poor product performance? The
unified data foundation takes this dark
data and integrates it so that it can be
searched and analyzed in context.
Having access to your previously hidden
data will give you a new understanding
of your product performance issues and
lead to better decision making.
Omneo Data Quality
Omneo Data Quality enables you to
clean, maintain and analyze big-data
integrity at the source. It validates data
based on your master data manage-
ment rules during ETL and then stores
the nonconforming data in a separate,
searchable environment.
Omneo Data Quality ensures your big
data is maximized to its full potential by
leveraging untapped data to complete
an overall comprehensive big picture.
Cleanse your data
Validate Validates the data based on
your rules during ETL and then stores
data quality errors in a cloud
environment.
Search Rapidly searches and charts
the data quality errors that did not meet
the validation rules.
Analyze The intuitive user interface
enables prompt identification of com-
mon errors occurring across data
sources. Errors are racked and stacked,
enabling you to eliminate the largest
errors first, rapidly increasing value.
Clean Correct the errors identified by
Omneo Data Quality at the source and
clean the data not only for analysis by
Omneo, but also for every stakeholder
that leverages the data source.
Reload Rapidly revalidates and loads
the newly conforming data into the
cloud environment.
Repeat Facilitates an iterative process
for continually creating better data
integrity.
Monitor Continually monitor existing
data sources, ensuring no future corrup-
tion of data due to changes at the
source.
Make data-driven decisions
Accurate decisions are based on com-
plete high-quality big data. Omneo Data
Quality gives you the trust and confi-
dence to make rapid, accurate
decisions. These decisions dramatically
improve efficiencies across supply,
manufacturing and field/customer
service that ultimately improves the
customer experience.
OMNEO
Omneo Fast Contextual Search
Users of search engines know that you
have to search in the right context to
get meaningful results. Typically, it
requires days or weeks to create an
accurate context for multiple big-data
sources, and much longer to search and
analyze this data. Omneo Fast
Contextual Search saves valuable time
by only searching fully contextualized
big data. Simply type in a keyword as
you would in a web-based search
engine and you are seconds away from
discovering new insights about your
products.
Search from every angle
Omneo Fast Contextual Search takes
detailed searching to a new level by
presenting more data points to consider
and manipulate than a traditional
business intelligence search query.
Small changes in a global supply chain
often have a large downstream impact.
By adding and eliminating filters during
faceted search, you are able to uncover
the source of a previously undetectable
value chain issue.

Omneo Fast Contextual Search offers a
wide range of advanced search options
and allows for complex search expres-
sions, including string values. All types
of searches (keyword, filter, facet, etc.)
can be combined.
Drilling for insights
Along with results displayed as graphs,
Omneo Fast Contextual Search also
provides detailed text listings of search
results. Individual rows can be selected
for further investigation and analysis.
Each drill down brings you closer to
truly understanding the data connec-
tions throughout your value chain.
Finding these connections will be the
key to making impactful and financially
beneficial product improvements.
OMNEO
Global sharing
All searches and facet combinations can
be saved and shared with other users.
Now everyone from suppliers and
manufacturers to the field and cus-
tomer service can use the same criteria
to gain global intelligence to improve
products and the customer experience.
Secure supplier access
With Omneos secure supplier access,
suppliers can see how their components
are performing in the original equip-
ment manufacturer (OEMs) products. Siemens PLM Software
OEMs have visibility into all supplier www.siemens.com/plm
data in Omneo, but individual suppliers
only see information pertaining to their Americas +1 314 264 8499
parts, components, or subsystems. Europe +44 (0) 1276 413200
Giving suppliers direct access to their Asia-Pacific +852 2230 3308
performance data enables them to
provide higher quality components
which improves product performance.
