“The concept of creating ‘sustainable value’ for customers is a core precept at Siemens Industry Inc.,” said Laura Stepanek, SDM’s editor, announcing the 2010 honor. “It drives the company’s Security Solutions Business Unit’s efforts to innovate, and it serves as a backdrop for the company’s leadership.” 

"We are honored to be recognized by SDM as its Systems Integrator of the Year,” said Carey Boethel, vice president and Security Solutions Business Unit head.  “This award acknowledges the hard work and dedication of our U.S. Field organization and our focus on innovation, reliability and value creation."

According to Stepanek, the thread of sustainable value is manifested in Siemens’ many initiatives and accomplishments: “Many systems integrators pride themselves on being a reliable business partner to their customers based on the fact that they provide prompt, dependable service. At Siemens, reliable partnership is based on a more complex formula. It is the result of a corporate culture built upon three core values: responsible, excellent and innovative.”
