Leveraging cloud-based and digital technologies to become more integrated, responsive, and efficient

Today’s Market Dynamics

The rapid pace of technology evolution is only rivaled by the growth in customer expectations for electric vehicles and the integration of sensors and other technologies to guide and govern vehicles on or off the road. These innovations push your business and operational costs up, and require you to redefine your strategic goals, rethink your supply chains amid microchip shortages, and integrate tightly with your innovation partners.

Success comes when you fully integrate these innovations into every aspect of your operations, your supplier and customer interactions, and into the finished products that come off your production line. Finding ways to support how connected cars integrate better into broader digital ecosystems with over-the-air updates that provide better driver- and passenger-centered experiences will be part of the formula for your success.

Achieving that success starts by ensuring you have the technologies and tools needed to streamline your operations, focus your investments efficiently, improve your supply chain, and make better strategic decisions overall. With the right technology foundation, you can ensure you have the data and insights you need to move forward with confidence.

Key Challenges

  • Shifting to integrate connected vehicles into broader digital ecosystems
  • Reinventing how vehicles work and how they are powered
  • Rapidly shifting customer expectations for electric vehicles
  • Shrinking availability and rising cost of inputs
  • Managing supply chain challenges

Embracing opportunities

To better capitalize on new innovations and become an automotive company of the future, agility and responsiveness will be critical. That’s why it’s important to make your operations as seamless and integrated as possible. You can take steps to ensure that the mission-critical systems and applications that run your operations do not become constraints when you must scale to meet surges in demand, or the sudden availability of supplies by migrating them to the cloud.
With a multi-cloud solution, you can create a secure and sound foundation for data-driven decision making, streamline your operational activities, and more quickly innovate to achieve your desired objectives.

To navigate the road forward without hitting major roadblocks, it’s important to work with a partner that understands the automotive industry—from traditional manufacturing to EV battery production—and who can help you improve and streamline your mission critical activities, while giving you the tools you need to become more responsive, agile, and innovative.

We know your industry

Tap into our extensive practical experience working with auto industry clients—and the understanding we’ve gained helping companies improve their operations and drive innovation using ERP and cloud solutions.

Benefit from our understanding of emerging technologies – like EV batteries and connected car technologies—and our expertise with identifying and implementing the technologies needed to improve operating and production processes and to drive the smart data analytics required to make better decisions.

Customized solutions that fit your needs

No matter what the finished product coming off your production line looks like, you are driven by the need to keep innovating. Because in order to keep your customers moving, you need to keep moving. And to keep moving, you need to be cutting-edge and in the cloud.

And we understand that cutting-edge won’t make the cut if it’s not connected to how you’re operating today. That’s why we’ll work with you to adjust your operations so you can meet changing demand while providing your customers with safe and high-quality vehicles or vehicle components. And then we’ll develop a customized plan to connect you to your agile, responsive and innovative future.

When we work with you, we help you embrace technologies that will streamline your business, operational, and manufacturing activities so that you can move into the future with confidence, able to be as agile and responsive as your customers’ needs continue to evolve.

We work collaboratively with you to develop and implement stable and secure technologies that you can trust to support your mission-critical activities no matter the challenges that come your way. We also develop tools and reports that will help you get the most from your systems, solutions, and data so you can make better strategic decisions.

Whether you’re looking for a partner to help guide your ERP implementation or cloud migration or are interested in using automation to make your supply chain or production processes more flexible, we can help.
