boosted security, accelerated time-to-
market for its products and increased IT
efficiency through automation.
The challenge
Describing the market context, Peter
Friedwagner, Head of Infrastructure
and Common Platforms at Porsche
Informatik, said: “E-drive, connected
cars and autonomous driving: all new
developments in the automotive industry
increasingly rely on digital know-how
– with growing pressure to succeed on
Porsche Informatik software solutions.”
For this reason, internal processes
needed to undergo a revision. From the IT
management point of view, time to market
for software products took too long.
Provisioning time of IT resources for
software developers in the business units
was not ideal, waiting times had to be
reduced in order to support and optimise
solutions that are active in 27 countries.
IT security and availiabilty was another
urgent priority on the agenda of Peter
Friedwagner’s team.
The company infrastructure needed to
maintain the highest possible security
and availability standards. Data centre
downtime would be a disaster: potential
buyers would not be able to configure
cars online and delivery of spare parts
would be delayed.
