Currently, Ulli is the Product Marketing Manager for Industrial Identification and Locating & Distributor Business Development in the US, located in the Portland, Oregon Metropolitan Area. Her tenure with Siemens has seen her work in the Digital Industry (DI) segment, specifically within Process Automation (PA) and the Digital Connectivity and Power (DCP) business segment.

Challenge:

Ulli Thornton and her team faced significant hurdles in accessing timely and accurate market insights for their work. They primarily sourced their market intelligence from Siemens' Germany headquarters. However, the information available needed to be updated or more specific to their needs. Ulli reached out to multiple business units within the US, but the data she received was mainly tailored to the European market or didn’t represent the required insights into the distinct product portfolios. Ulli and her team urgently needed a reliable and faster solution to access accurate market insights to guide their strategic decisions and define market-specific initiatives and efficient marketing activities.

Solution:

Ulli turned her attention to Statzon after evaluating and testing several other market intelligence platforms and providers. Statzon emerged as the preferred choice for the following reasons:

• Adaptable solutions: Statzon demonstrated flexibility by accommodating Ulli's specific requirements for access, tailoring their offerings to Siemens' particular requirements.
• Outstanding value for investment: Statzon's offerings were comprehensive and top-notch. However, what distinguished them from other platforms was the immense value they provided for the investment, ensuring Siemens received the best quality insights for their strategic needs without compromising on value.
