Building a smarter planet: Automotive

The reality of living in a globally integrated world is upon us.

 Economic downturn and increased industry upheaval.
 Empowered consumers with rising product/service expectations.
 Complex and globally dispersed operations.
 Vehicles becoming digitally connected.
 Increasing awareness and regulation regarding sustainability.
 Growing role of emerging economies and markets.

The world is connected:
economically, socially and technically.
