Digital Transformation

Digitalization touches every part of the automotive enterprise, from building advanced, sensor-driven AI capabilities into the vehicle itself, to forging personalized, data-driven relationships with customers. As automotive companies remake themselves as digital powerhouses, core SAP systems must be agile enough to keep up with rapid change.

Data-Driven Personalization

As the industry transitions from selling vehicles to providing services tailored to individual drivers and users, customer insight and personalization will come to the fore. Responsive, adaptable IT systems and processes are needed to generate, aggregate, and make sense of the data – often in real time.

Software Engineering

Automotive companies are being partially transformed into software businesses, hiring teams of developers to design and deliver new digital services that reside both within the vehicle and on owners’ and users’ devices. SAP teams may need to integrate with the DevOps practices and toolchains used by newly-formed software engineering teams.

Risk and Compliance

Large-scale digital transformations carry a high degree of business risk – that new functionality will not be delivered on time, that budgets will over-run, or that software defects will lead to downtime or compliance breaches. SAP teams working on automotive-industry transformation initiatives must ensure high-quality change is delivered quickly and at low cost.
