As of my knowledge:
Siemens` VAN activities used to be handeld by VASCOM.
    
    VASCOM had the charter to enter the VANs market. VASCOM is a 
    100% daughter of SIEMENS. Now that SIEMENS take over NIXDORF 
    it is likely that VASCOM will be integrated into the new 
    SIEMENS/NIXDORF company.

58.3VASCOM + Nixdorf + Siemens => SNIHADRES::DITEOSI ...just seven steps to heaven...Wed Mar 28 1990 12:595
I've just come back from CeBIT'90 and heard there from people working for
VASCOM that they would be integrated back into the new SNI Co formed by
the takeover of Nixdorf by Siemens.

58.4Some more infosECCGY4::STROHMAIERTue Apr 17 1990 17:2219
Here some more info from a former VASCOM-person, hope that helps.
    
    
EDI:	Siemens works internally with about 30 companies on basis of EDI; 
        is has all been project based, but high growth expected, products 
        expected in 1991; modules available, architecture is being worked on.

E-mail	X.400 internally used with AKOM (product)
	externally BS2000-Mail (no big Marketing effort)

Voice	Siemens is also a telefon company - remember? CIT runs and is marketed 
        at least in Germany (contact Udo Steinhoff RTO) - see also HICOM 
        activities; also very active in the US with ROLM (former IBM-daughter)

VAS/VAN	VASCOM hs been re-integrated in corporation; concentration on company 
        internal activities, external activities reduced on installed base.

	Does Siemens sell any EDI software for use by end-users or value added
networks?

>E-mail	X.400 internally used with AKOM (product)
>	externally BS2000-Mail (no big Marketing effort)

	So BS2000-Mail is their X.400 mail system?  can it be used in a value
added network?

	Do they have any voice mail or interactive voice reponse products?  Are
they interested in these areas and integrating them with switches?

	Interesting.  Can you elaborate on this?
