Mobility Technology Leader Leverages Wind River Acceleration Programto Speed up Innovation While Cutting Costs Today, innovations are delivered primarily through software. For companiesthat have not traditionally specialized in software development, this can bea huge challenge, particularly since the costs and complexities of develop-ment are spiraling upward. Highlights Global mobility technologyenterprise cuts the cost andcomplexity of modernizing itsembedded software develop-ment process by harnessingthe Wind River AccelerationProgram, delivered by theCustomer Success team. THE CHALLENGE Achieving Maximum ROI While Expanding ComplexDevelopment Capabilities For one leading innovator in mobility technology, it was clear that a majorshift in its embedded software development capabilities was a must. Thecompany had teams, tools, and facilities all over the world and needed tointegrate and coordinate them to accelerate innovation. However, it was farless clear how to achieve the conflicting goals of faster innovation and lowerdevelopment costs. The customer received continu-ous advocacy and assistancewith planning, education andtraining, new technology adop-tion, access to expertise, andKPIs to measure ROI and overallsuccess. This assistance helpedmaximize the business value ofadopting Wind River solutions. Specifically, the company needed to radically expand its mission-criticalsoftware development capabilities to meet fast-changing market andcompetitive requirements. This required improving the toolchain to facilitatefaster, more integrated innovation; gaining the ability to view and measure ROIthrough all phases of development; keeping capital expenditure to a minimumand finding ways to cut development costs; maximizing collaboration andcommunication among diverse teams, from development to IT to security toC-suite executives; and identifying and leveraging cross-project and cross-functional efficiencies. Challenges •Radically expand the compa-ny’s mission-critical softwaredevelopment capabilities tomeet fast-changing marketand competitive requirements.•Improve the toolchain tofacilitate faster, moreintegrated innovation.
