Case Study
A Leading Automotive OEM Establishes an Engineering CoE to become a Software and Data-driven Mobility Provider
The CoE offers high-quality deliverables while bringing in the necessary business and technical competence.
Overview
The client is an IT arm of the Automotive OEM, located in Austria. With in-depth knowledge of the automobile sector, they create mobility solutions that guarantee maximum customer satisfaction.
Challenge
The client wanted to build an Engineering Centre of Excellence in Eastern Europe with a suitable partner who can grow to manage the existing products and become a key part of the OEMs transition to a software and data-driven mobility provider.
Solution
Our extensive understanding of the automotive ecosystem helped us quickly establish teams to support the development of wholesale and retail product lines. We completed the product rollout and implemented feature enhancements on time, worked on car configuration solutions, and integrated the pricing platform with the rest of the client’s solutions.
Further, we worked on the engineering environment and IT security areas across different product lines and identified suitable solutions to move current deployments from on-prem with complete transparency.
Result
In nine months, the Engineering CoE became the client’s third-biggest development center in Europe. Named as a strategic center due to the quality of the deliverables and positive feedback from the end customers, this center will grow to three times its size in the next year to take up additional products. The client moved the product ownership of a few product lines to this center and made the CoE their competency center. Currently, the retail products are handling more than 3.5 billion euros of transactions in a year.
