Immersive Journey

As automotive gets increasingly connected and smarter, enterprise leaders are racing against time to roll out innovative products and features that are more attuned to growing user demands. Circling in on in-vehicle applications, matching the pace with the evolving market, requires a complete recalibration of functional requirements and emerging design patterns. However, businesses grapple with numerous challenges ranging from connectivity issues between HMI and connected vehicle apps, lack of frameworks for application design and functionality, observability gaps, delayed release cycles from manual and cost-intensive test procedures, and absence of user reviews on build and deployment. The right combination of advanced technologies and modern infrastructure can empower automotive leaders to improve end-to-end product lifecycle visibility from design to testing and market release, thus accelerating GTM and revenue generation rates.

Our client, a leading automotive firm, was struggling with siloed data and processes due to legacy systems. Their existing deployment processes were slow, manually-intensive, and error-prone, leading to increased downtime and prolonged delays in product launches – impacting their ability to respond quickly to market demands. Moreover, the outdated infrastructure hindered the client from integrating new technologies to leverage scalable and flexible processes. The client sought advanced digital solutions to gain 360-degree visibility, helping them enhance security measures, continuous performance improvement, productivity, and agility to accelerate revenue generation and market expansion.

Bosch SDS in action

Tapping into our vast experience and industrial exposure in transforming value streams, connected technologies, and sustainable practices — from design and manufacturing to sales and after-sales — we recommended that the client adopt a customized cloud-based hybrid platform. The client also adopted the following measures:

Leveraged built-in cross-functional capabilities in the hybrid cloud-native platform to enhance overall organizational scalability and flexibility
Integrated Bosch Kcode Deploy to establish zero-touch continuous infrastructure and application deployment to ensure consistent updates, easy release of new features, and minimize downtime
Implemented Bosch Cloud MOpSec, a containerized multi-cloud platform for end-to-end monitoring and management – from automation to performance monitoring and cloud cost optimization, ultimately stepping up productivity and scalability
Advanced analytics to streamline predictive operations and quality control while reducing incident/ outage frequencies

Furthermore, the entire project was wrapped in minimal time within industry standards, owing to our meticulous planning, execution, and efficient methodology.
