The Challenge

Automotive electronics are complex systems made up of ever-increasing numbers of printed circuit boards, IC modules, wiring, sensors, and actuators that go into today’s cars. For a large tier-one supplier, launching these product lines for automotive OEMs typically takes years, and requires the efforts of multi-disciplinary product teams that are dispersed around the world who are exchanging extensive, critical business information.
