Case Study: Siemens Healthcare achieves 33% throughput increase and 70% reduction in admin time with Digital.ai (VersionOne)

Siemens Shifts 40 Teams to Kanban and Increases Productivity

Siemens Healthcare faced a major change: moving 40–50 globally distributed teams from time‑boxed Scrum/XP to an enterprise‑wide Kanban approach without interrupting delivery or productivity. The organization needed a real‑time, always‑accessible, scalable Kanban board that could handle cross‑team dependencies and provide transparent, actionable metrics — and chose VersionOne (Digital.ai) to support the shift.

Digital.ai delivered VersionOne as a single, flexible platform with real‑time Kanban boards, a comprehensive DataMart and API for analytics, enabling consistent workflows, WIP control and enterprise visibility. The rollout covered 40+ teams on three continents and produced clear results: 33% increase in throughput, about 70% reduction in administrative maintenance time, predictable cycle times, and the first Kanban release completed on time and 10% under budget — gains that have been sustained.
