  • Automotive OEM Cloud Strategy
    Automotive OEM Cloud Strategy Pareekh Jain August 2020 Introduction: Cloud Computing in Automotive Domain ▪ Automotive industry has multiple divisions, subsidiaries, and product lines across countries. Also auto OEMs are increasingly establishing alliance due to the ACES trend and joint-go-to-market. Due to this, auto OEMs often run into deep silos, enabling BU owners to take decision for software implementation decisions. So, we have observed presence of different cloud vendors in pockets. To gain more visibility and close collaboration, auto OEMs are now trying to centralize their operations. ACES trends and digital services are also accelerating cloud adoption for the OEMs. ▪ Cloud has come a long way from IaaS offerings to SaaS mindset. Though some auto OEMs are using cloud computing for infrastructure purposes, most of the OEMs are leveraging cloud for connected operations, digital services offering, and ACES purposes. As hyperscalers are also providing IoT platforms, so cloud computing is used along IoT tenets. ▪ In our research of auto OEMs’ cloud computing adoption, we have not included ICT solutions, cloud database and cloud-enabled enterprise application implementations. Our focus is on industrial side of automotive applications and new-age mobility applications. © 2020 Pareekh Consulting. 2 Major Auto OEM Cloud Vendors Description AWS: Cloud-connected vehicles, ACES, mobility services ; Toyota Azure: Cloud computing platform for Toyota Connected, drive R&D AWS: Industrial cloud platform; Azure: Automotive cloud for connected
