Amazon.com Inc. said Tuesday that its subsidiary Amazon Web
Services Inc. and BMW AG are pushing through a data-led partnership
as the German luxury-car maker seeks to bolster digitalization and
innovation in the auto industry.
The e-retail giant said AWS and BMW will develop cloud-based
solutions, with BMW migrating data from business units and
operations to AWS, including some core IT systems and databases for
functions such as sales, manufacturing and maintenance.
"By combining the domain expertise of the BMW Group with AWS's
demonstrated leadership in the cloud, we are expanding our impact
across the automotive industry so that stakeholders, from parts
manufacturers to mechanics, can benefit from greater visibility and
insights," Matt Garman, vice president of sales and marketing at
AWS, said.
Amazon said BMW is also expanding a cloud data hub for its
employees to access AWS's services, while third parties, such as
car dealerships, suppliers and technology companies, will be able
to contribute vehicle operating and maintenance data.
BMW will also train up to 5,000 software engineers.
