From Complexity to Clarity

Streamlining Automotive R&D with ALM​

Client Overview

Our client is a global leader in automotive research and development, renowned for its engineering innovations. With over 175,000 employees and operations spanning multiple locations worldwide, managing IT services efficiently was a growing issue.

The Challenge

The client faced critical roadblocks that impacted efficiency and time-to-market:

The absence of a unified software development platform across the organization and its vendors.

Reducing vehicle development cycles from 60 months to 36 months for faster time-to-market.

Lack of visibility for software development, leading to production delays.

Our Approach

To tackle these challenges, we implemented a robust ALM
(Application Lifecycle
Management) solution:

Unified Software Development Platform:

Consolidated multiple vendor tools into a single, standardized and scalable ALM platform

Scalable Infrastructure:

Started with 2 servers, expanding to 24 servers supporting 2,000 BUs and integrating 15+ tools.

Language Support:

Established four accessible helpdesk channels—Hotline, Service Request Portal, Chat, and Email.

Agile Resource Management:

A team of 40 (scaling up to 52 during peak periods) ensures smooth operations for 30,000+ users, peaking at 45,000 users.

Automation & Cost Optimization:

Developed automated workflows, reducing IT spend while optimizing team efficiency.

Global Platform Reach:

Supporting 45,000 users across 55 countries, ensuring scalability and seamless collaboration.

24x7 support across hundreds of business units and divisions globally:

Established four accessible helpdesk channels—Hotline, Service Request Portal, Chat, and Email.

Knowledge Management & Business Continuity:

Implemented a structured knowledge-sharing system and an integrated Business Continuity Plan (BCP) at no extra cost. integrating 15+ tools.

The Business Impact

The transformation delivered measurable improvements in IT operations:

Accelerated Development Cycles

Reduced vehicle software development timelines from 60 months to 36 months.

Improved Reliability

Introduced a four-layer technical backup plan per shift to guarantee uninterrupted operations.

Saving Costs with a Centralized Platform

Enabled cost savings by consolidating R&D lab operations into a single, streamlined platform, reducing inefficiencies and overhead expenses.

Increased Efficiency & Reusability

Standardized development processes and enabled seamless software reuse across vendors

Optimized IT Spend

Enabled dynamic scaling of infrastructure and teams, ensuring cost efficiency
