Today’s automotive companies are challenged to develop more complex vehicles faster than ever in an increasingly competitive global environment. Yet, despite years of investment, existing PLM systems are struggling to meet the challenge due to their inability to manage electronics, software and the complicated interfaces with manufacturing and suppliers.

This white paper summarizes research on the key trends that are driving massive change in the automotive industry, including:

• CAFE requirements
• Connected cars
• Product line expansion
• Shrinking time to market
• Autonomous vehicles
• Increasing globalization.

This 9 page white paper outlines a new platform approach to automating enterprise-wide processes that openly integrates with existing systems. It presents a real alternative to the “rip and replace nightmare” that automotive companies might otherwise face.
