STOCKHOLM--Ericsson AB (ERIC) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) are integrating their connected vehicle platforms to allow auto makers to accelerate the delivery of new connected car services world-wide, the companies said in a joint statement Thursday.

The companies said the integrated solution allows auto makers to deploy and scale global vehicle services such as fleet management, over-the-air software updates and connected safety services.

"Together with Ericsson, we intend to simplify the development of connected vehicle services to help car makers focus on their customers needs and accelerate the delivery of unique, tailor-made driving experiences," Peggy Johnson, executive vice president, business development at Microsoft said.
