T-Systems has become the latest automotive IT services provider to join the eSync Alliance, a global initiative established to build a secure, multi-vendor platform for end-to-end over-the-air updating and data services for the connected car.
With more than 10 years of experience and more than 30 million vehicles worldwide under management, Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Systems is a European leader for connected car services operations.
The firm provides automakers and suppliers with a broad range of digital products, including over-the-air platform and integration services, its Hypercube suite of vehicle software, service and platform solutions, and lifetime vehicle cybersecurity.
The eSync Alliance, meanwhile, is a non-profit trade association driving a multi-company solution for over-the-air updates and diagnostics data in the automotive electronics space, potentially saving billions of dollars per year for automakers. By working together in the alliance, companies benefit from a simplified development environment made possible by a standardized yet customizable platform. The Alliance is based around the eSync platform of cloud and embedded components, providing a secure data pipeline to devices within a vehicle.
This alliance not only enables T-Systems to enrich its product offerings but also strengthens its position in the automotive market, aligning perfectly with T-Systems’ business targets of growth, innovation, and leadership in the digital transformation journey. Through this partnership, the company is set to deliver unparalleled value to its customers, driving forward the revolution in automotive connectivity and digital services.
Jeyakrishnan Kalidoss, product manager of T-Systems Hypercube Suite, said, “Joining the eSync Alliance represents a pivotal step forward in harnessing the collective power of industry leaders to pioneer the next wave of automotive innovation. This collaboration is not just about advancing technology; it’s about creating a unified ecosystem where every vehicle on the road can be smarter, safer, and more efficient. The eSync Alliance brings together industry leaders to collaborate and create the future of automotive connectivity.”
Mike Gardner, executive director of the eSync Alliance, added, “T-Systems is an excellent example of how a standardized over-the-air communications pipeline can benefit so many connected car services. From over-the-air update integration to software development, autonomous driving, and vehicle security, eSync technology has a role to play in facilitating these important areas of growth for T-Systems. I look forward to seeing how the T-Systems team deploy our technology for its own benefit, and that of the industry.”
