The Automotive Industry Is One of the Most Project-Intensive Industries

Electromobility, autonomous driving, car sharing, and connected mobility – the automotive industry is facing numerous challenges. Manufacturers and suppliers are spending billions to meet growing mobility demands and develop the next generation of vehicles.

Increasing competition in the automotive industry requires continuous market innovation with more powerful technologies and features. This leads to ever shorter product life cycles with increasing product complexity. In addition, high demands are being placed on communication and networked working between manufacturers and suppliers.

Automotive companies need agile and flexible solutions to respond quickly to these industry changes.

Challenges

 Pressure for Innovation

The trend toward electromobility and autonomous driving requires considerable investment in the development and testing of new technologies. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers must continuously adapt to the demands of rapidly changing mobility.

Growing Competition

In a highly competitive market with many competitors, products are being manufactured with ever shorter product life cycles. A fast time-to-market becomes a decisive competitive advantage.

Global Collaboration

Many automotive manufacturers operate globally and need to collaborate with teams, partners, and suppliers in different countries and time zones. This places high demands on planning, communication and connected working.
