-- PSA Peugeot Citroen Taps IBM Big Data and Analytics and MobileFirst Solutions
to Provide Drivers with Customized Services --
ARMONK, N.Y. and PARIS, March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PSA Peugeot Citroen
today announced plans to use IBM Big Data and Analytics and IBM MobileFirst
solutions to launch a new era of connected vehicles that deliver customized
services.
The rapid adoption of mobile devices is redefining customer expectations
in all areas of life, including transportation. The need to be constantly
connected is transforming the relationship between car owners and manufacturers
beyond the driving experience. To meet changing customer expectations requires
new, innovative connected services.
The challenge for car manufacturers is to integrate value brought by
processing and analyzing real-time data from the connected vehicle. Automobiles
today deliver millions of points of valuable information while connected devices
such as mobile phones play an integral role in people's lives.
PSA Peugeot Citroen and IBM (NYSE: IBM) are working together to integrate
the massive amounts of data from cars, phones, traffic signals, lights and other
sources and analyze it in real-time to deliver on the promise of the connected
vehicle. "This innovation and collaboration with IBM is expected to offer new
and essential services for both drivers and passengers," said Brigitte
Courtehoux, Director of Cars and Connected Services Business Unit for PSA
Peugeot Citroen.
PSA Peugeot Citroen's expertise in the auto industry combined with IBM's
Big Data and Analytics and IBM MobileFirst solutions will enable the French
manufacturer to offer a range of "connected services" to its clients, allowing
them to use numerous access channels such as websites, vehicles data, customer
service or mobile applications. They will now also be able to access other
sources of vehicle data and customer service information such as, among many
other possibilities, a better weather precision via onboard sensors of
temperature, lights, and windshield wipers from Peugeot Citroen's cars.
The solutions developed by IBM and PSA Peugeot Citroen will bring
real-time customized services to drivers. PSA Peugeot Citroen's Connected
Vehicle project will provide high value applications for business-to-consumer
and business-to-business clients and automotive systems.
"We are proud to offer the best of IBM to support PSA Peugeot Citroen in
its new challenge," said Dirk Wollschlager, General Manager, Global Automotive
Industry at IBM. "This technology chosen by PSA Peugeot Citroen will allow the
company to customize every service to each driver and passenger regarding their
expectations and the driving conditions."
