Trusted by Leading OEMs and Suppliers
Automotive Development Has Never Been More Complex
To innovate in today’s market, automotive software and systems developers face unprecedented levels of complexity. Whether they’re developing the SDV technology driving advancements in e-mobility and autonomy, or creating digital twins of vehicles with real-time 3D engines, they have to manage:
Growing, globally dispersed teams.
Hundreds to thousands of cross-functional developers contributing to projects simultaneously.
Projects containing many file types, some of which cannot be merged.
File sizes that are growing rapidly year to year.
Greater security risks to their IP than ever before.
Aging tech stacks that are struggling with the pace of modern development.
Growing, globally dispersed teams.
Hundreds to thousands of cross-functional developers contributing to projects simultaneously.
Projects containing many file types, some of which cannot be merged.
At a time when automakers and suppliers are racing to beat the competition to market, insufficient data management (DM) infrastructure poses a tremendous risk to their business.
Why You Need Modern, Scalable Data Management
The right data management system improves collaboration, efficiency, and security in the development of complex automotive projects by providing a single source of truth for all digital assets. If you are using outdated or insufficient tools or systems, your team will run into issues such as:
Frequent File Conflicts
Lags or Crashes
Broken Builds
Duplicated Work
Disjointed Teams
Data & IP Security Risks
Frequent File Conflicts
Lags or Crashes
Broken Builds
