URGENT MESSAGE: LEGAL DISPUTES AMONG SUPPLIERS HALT exiderdome U.S. TOUR
Siemens announced that the remainder of exiderdome’s U.S. tour has been cancelled due to ongoing legal disputes among its suppliers that will not be resolved in time for exiderdome to make its scheduled stop in Orlando.
"After successfully attracting thousands of visitors in Canada, Mexico and four U.S. cities, it is very disappointing that these legal disputes have forced us to cancel exiderdome before it had completed its U.S. tour,” said Thomas Varney, vice president of Communications at Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc. “Siemens remains committed to the U.S. market and will continue to make investments that will provide productivity solutions for our customers.”
To maintain momentum and accommodate the needs of our customers, prospects and partners, Siemens will design programs and events for each of the remaining cities on the U.S. tour. They will be based on the events originally planned around exiderdome and the specific needs of the region. Siemens will also leverage all demonstrations, presentations and multi-media from exiderdome by packaging them for its solution providers, channel partners and the sales organization to use in educating customers and prospects.
“By demonstrating flexibility and adapting quickly to the legal and changing economic situation, we are focused on bringing continuity to our customers, prospects and partners by offering the same level of training, networking and best practice sharing that helps Siemens deliver technology innovations based on customer requirements,” said Varney. “Through flexibility and agility, Siemens and its customers will be well positioned to emerge stronger as the economy rebounds.“
