Cognizant's solution accelerator, powered by
Elektrobit's Adaptive AUTOSAR solution, is designed to meet
increasing customer demands by accelerating the development
cycle for Software-Defined Vehicles
TEANECK,
N.J., Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --
Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) today announced a new
collaboration with Elektrobit, an award-winning automotive software
company, to integrate Elektrobit's Software Development Kit (SDK)
for EB corbos AdaptiveCore into Cognizant's software-defined
vehicle (SDV) solution accelerator. This enhanced accelerator,
featuring Elektrobit's proven Adaptive AUTOSAR solution, aims to
help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers
create scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient SDV architectures.
The goal is to meet customer demands by speeding up the development
cycle.
Automotive companies are under pressure to accelerate product
development and testing cycles while managing limited resources.
This task requires innovative solutions to optimize processes and
improve efficiency. Cognizant's SDV solution accelerator built with
Gen AI led productivity elements helps automotive companies speed
up product development and testing, improve quality and reduce
development costs while managing limited resources. It integrates
signal-based and service-oriented applications into modern
electrical/electronic (EE) architecture, including vehicle
computers and zonal controllers. This collaboration aims to make
the development process smoother by using continuous testing and
validation. By addressing safety and security early on, it reduces
the time needed to add new features and manages the complexity of
different software platforms.
"Cognizant's collaboration with Elektrobit to integrate its SDK
into the SDV accelerator addresses key challenges OEMs and Tier 1s
face in their Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) journey," said
Akshat Vaid, Partner, Engineering
and Information Technology, Everest Group. "By combining
Elektrobit's expertise in Adaptive AUTOSAR middleware and
virtualization with Cognizant's SDV accelerator, the partnership
enables modular development, tackles software complexity, enhances
prototyping efficiency, mitigates cybersecurity risks, and
streamlines ecosystem orchestration—ultimately improving time to
market and competitiveness for customers."
"The comprehensive pre-built accelerator is intended to help
reduce total ownership costs and improve time to market," said
Wolfgang Thieme, Director, Product
Management Cloud & Systems, Elektrobit. "Together with
Cognizant, we are laying the groundwork for enhancing customer
satisfaction and lifetime value through software upgrades and
subscription services."
"We intend to streamline the development process, enhance
vehicle functionality, identify defects early and integrate Gen AI
in the software lifecycle to meet the growing demand for
customization and hyper-personalization," said Aditya Pathak, Vice
President and Americas Head of Auto, Transportation and Logistics,
Cognizant. "This collaboration aims to redefine automotive software
development, helping our clients deliver reliable and personalized
driving experiences."
