Car buyers’ demands on their vehicles have increased in recent years. Special information and communication systems, central control units, individual user profiles: the proportion of software in vehicles has risen immensely and electronics is becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry. Large car manufacturers are able to secure their leading market positions by using smart IT concepts to fulfil these requirements.

The Background
Challenge
The BMW Group has been working with adesso in this area for years. Together, the partners pursue the goal of achieving a consistently digital and agile organisation in order to be able to react flexibly and quickly to changing requirements and customer wishes on international markets.
Solution
adesso supports the BMW Group with the implementation and further development of agile working methods in order to transform the classic process-oriented organisational structures into units that are as proactive and responsive as possible. The use of agile methods is no longer limited to software projects, but also extends to the areas of procurement, development, logistics, production, sales and human resources. The BMW Group is striving to make its entire corporate and management culture more agile.
