Ford Teams with Pivotal to Speed Development of Connected Car Practices Capitalizing on Fresh Ford SYNC Connect
- Ford is adopting Pivotal ® software development services to produce innovative products and to improve the customer practice – with the agility of a start-up
- Leveraging Pivotal Cloud Foundry ® and Pivotal Big Data Suite to build its Ford Clever Mobility connected vehicle platform, Ford is becoming a nimbler software developer
- Through its work with Pivotal, Ford’s software development time has sped up from months to weeks in some cases; further improvements expected
- Latest introduction of fresh Ford SYNC ® Connect technology provides avenue for extra connected services and features for customers in the future
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 15, 2015 – Ford is teaming up with software company Pivotal ® , providing the automaker the capabilities of an innovative software team to enhance its connected vehicle practice for customers, simplifying how they use technology to access vehicles and services.
Ford’s three-year strategic collaboration with Pivotal, which is dedicated to accelerating the digital transformation for enterprises, supports the automaker’s development of mobile and user practices.
The collaboration aims to make Ford an even more agile software developer, enabling even better customer practices by leveraging Ford’s recently introduced SYNC ® Connect technology that provides remote access to vehicle features via a smartphone app.
This digital evolution is part of Ford Clever Mobility, the plan to take the company to the next level in connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer practice, and data and analytics.
“As we grow to become both an automaker and a mobility company, having leading software development expertise is critical to delivering at the speed consumers expect,” said Marcy Klevorn, Ford vice president and chief information officer. “Customers today are used to frequent software updates on their mobile devices, and expect them with all technology. This collaboration with Pivotal permits for quicker vehicle software updates and an even better user practice for Ford customers.”
Working with Pivotal technology provides a platform where improved software abilities can supply innovative fresh practices. That includes SYNC Connect, which supplies a true connected car practice due to its built-in modem.
Initial features of SYNC Connect include the capability to lock and unlock doors, schedule a future begin to warm up or cool down the vehicle, check on fuel and oil levels, and locate where the vehicle is parked. Over time, these features will grow with software enhancements.
SYNC Connect makes its global debut in the spring in the fresh Ford Escape, with other vehicles to go after.
At Pivotal Labs in Toronto, Ford software developers are working side-by-side with Pivotal engineers to create software with the agility and expertise of Silicon Valley leaders.
Taking an idea into production within a few days gives Ford the capability to merge its auto industry expertise with modern software development capabilities, boosting its software-led digital transformation.
“Typically, it took Ford months to develop software,” said Bill Cook, Pivotal president and chief operating officer. “At the outset of working with Pivotal, Ford engineers embarked producing compelling software in a matter of weeks. Since mastering Pivotal Labs’ cutting-edge, agile software development methodologies, Ford now is operating at start-up speeds – able to create software in mere days.”
Ford plans to build a component of its fresh connected vehicle platform on top of Pivotal Cloud Foundry ® – one of the world’s most powerful continuous-innovation cloud platforms. Ford also is leveraging Pivotal Big Data Suite to analyze data in real-time and over longer periods, to develop software-powered applications.
“When someone like Ford, with more than one hundred years of domain expertise and data, evolves the capability to create software like Google, Uber or a venture-backed start-up, then they have a unique chance to disrupt the disrupters,” said Pivotal CEO Rob Mee.
