Cloud transformation in the automotive industry: Streamlined development and accelerated innovation

Cloud transformation in the automotive industry: Streamlined development and accelerated innovation

The demands placed on modern vehicles have changed dramatically: Customers have long since come to expect not only performance and design from their vehicle, but also digital features that can be continuously improved and personalised. In order to meet these expectations, car manufacturers must be able to react ever faster to technological developments and flexibly integrate new functions. The cloud plays a central role in this - it enables development processes to be made more efficient, updates to be provided easily and vehicles to be kept permanently up to date.

 

THE PATH TO A SUCCESSFUL 

Cloud Transformation 

Automotive manufacturers face the challenge of executing a comprehensive and structured transition to the cloud. With our expertise, we help companies approach cloud transformations in software development strategically, establish a robust DevEx platform, and create lasting efficiencies through standardisation and automation.

 

 

Benefits of cloud transformation for the automotive industry

The cloud offers automotive manufacturers numerous opportunities to accelerate development processes and innovation cycles:

 

OVER 700%
RETURN ON INVESTMENT

IT costs can be significantly reduced with a well thought-out cloud architecture. Our experience shows that a standardised infrastructure management solution in the ILM area can achieve an ROI of over 700% in just three years.

SCALABILITY
& FLEXIBILITY

The cloud makes it possible to dynamically adapt IT resources according to project requirements - particularly helpful for the rapid provision and further development of electronic control units (ECUs).

Automated and standardised processes significantly reduce development times and get new features on the road faster.

 

 

The pillars of a modern DevEx platform

A successful cloud transformation relies on a comprehensive Developer Experience (DevEx) platform that covers the entire lifecycle of applications, infrastructure, security and monitoring. The four pillars - Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM), Security Lifecycle Management (SLM) and Observability Lifecycle Management (OLM) - ensure a reliable, secure and efficient foundation for development work. With our solutions, we create a well thought-out DevEx structure that helps your teams to work together more effectively and consistently.

 

INTRODUCTION TO

ALM, ILM, SLM, & OLM on the DevEX Platform

Effective software development requires comprehensive management of the application value chain. The DevEX platform streamlines this process with Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM), Security Lifecycle Management (SLM), and Observability Lifecycle Management (OLM).

Typical challenges and how we help

Cloud transformation often comes with challenges that are difficult to overcome without a clear strategy and expertise. The most common problems include

  1. Incomplete integration: there is often a lack of clear standards for using the cloud. We provide support with scalable platform solutions and the introduction of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to create a stable architecture that can be used in the long term.
  2. Lack of standardisation: Without a uniform structure, developers often have to find their own solutions, which leads to inconsistencies and high operating costs. We provide clear, standardised processes that simplify and secure the work.
  3. Insufficient cost control: Without central KPIs and transparency, potential savings in cloud usage are often lost. With our clear FinOps strategy, we ensure that cloud expenditure is monitored and managed efficiently.

 

Cloud transformation as the key to the future of the automotive industry

A successful cloud transformation allows automotive manufacturers to respond more quickly and flexibly to customer needs and implement innovations faster. It is crucial to use an end-to-end DevEx platform that structures processes and realises efficiency gains.
