## Resource

Episode 54 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo dives into how Fortune 500 procurement teams are buying software for digital twins — virtual replicas of physical assets, factories, and supply chains. Lucas and Luna examine Siemens' Xcelerator marketplace as a case study, where companies like BMW and Shell now procure simulation, IoT, and data analytics as a bundled service. They discuss how procurement has shifted from buying perpetual licenses for CAD software to negotiating annual subscription tiers for real-time digital twin platforms, with clause structures for data integration, IP ownership, and uptime SLAs. The hosts also explore the rise of procurement-specific metrics like 'model fidelity guarantees' and 'simulation throughput credits'. A concrete, operator-level look at how enterprise software buying is evolving for the industrial metaverse. #DigitalTwins #Fortune500Procurement #SiemensXcelerator #EnterpriseSoftware #IndustrialMetaverse #Simulation #IoT #BMW #Shell #ProcurementMetrics #SoftwareLicensing #DataIntegration #IPOwnership #SLAs #ModelFidelity #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
