Case Study: Siemens Healthineers achieves global collaboration and faster innovation with SocialCast

Siemens fosters a culture of open collaboration to connect employees globally with Socialcast

Siemens, the global electrical engineering and electronics leader with about 348,000 employees, faced challenges connecting a vast, geographically dispersed workforce to speed decision-making, capture employee expertise, and sustain its innovation leadership while maintaining security and compliance. The company sought a borderless, enterprise-wide solution to accelerate collaboration, ideation and problem-solving across divisions and time zones.

Siemens implemented VMware Socialcast—initially on-premises and later migrated to vCloud Air—providing a scalable, customizable, secure social collaboration platform with mobile access and multilingual support. The network now has 155,000+ active members who’ve created over 10,000 groups, driving faster knowledge sharing, fewer IT service tickets, improved productivity and employee satisfaction, growing adoption, and stronger cross‑company innovation.
