SINGAPORE: Audi AG has joined the group family of Software Development Centers (SDCs) with a base in Ingolstadt.
With eight locations, the group family of Software Development Centres (SDCs) already has a broad base including Berlin, Wolfsburg, and Lisbon.
The first Audi SDC ensures the continued expansion of digital knowhow and in-house expertise as well as the long-term safeguarding of development skills.
In Ingolstadt, a short distance away from the Audi plant, Audi AG has opened its first SDC in the Volkswagen Group.
This location was deliberately chosen so that employees can enjoy a new space conducive to new ways of thinking away from their traditional working environment while still allowing them to maintain close personal contact with the commissioning specialist areas at the Audi plant.
To bundle digital knowhow of the Audi IT and continue along the road of swift and efficient expansion, Audi decided to bring together software developers, UX designers and cloud platform specialists in a single organisation at the new location.
The proximity and intensive dialog among team members within the SDC mean that solutions can be developed quickly.
“Thanks to the Software Development Center, we are setting new standards in agile software development in our teams and so ensuring faster product development with enhanced quality and a greater value creation depth for the Group,” said Audi AG chief information officer Frank Loydl.
