Continuing advances in mobile communications offer top automakers one of the best ways to identify overlooked niche markets and to differentiate their products from competitors. By embracing new possibilities offered by mobile tech, these companies use the latest digital technologies to create innovative products and services that shift markets in their favor.

We help you shift to market launches that happen within a few months, and even faster deployment for successive releases.
DevOps is about monitoring all phases of the product development lifecycle, from conceptualization to design, development, deployment, testing and release. At Cognizant, we help automakers leverage the cloud and cloud tools to optimize the DevOps process. Our DevOps processes reduce your time-to-market with traceability and quality assurance at every step of the delivery pipeline. Among the best practices we follow:
