of the connected vehicle market. The platform is tailored to fit
vehicle manufacturers' growing demand for scalability and
flexibility with the capability of supporting any connected vehicle
service.
Ericsson's Connected Vehicle Cloud offloads vehicle
manufacturers' complexity of global 24/7 operations and lifecycle
management related to connected vehicles with a guaranteed
service-level agreement.
The Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform (MCVP) empowers
automotive companies to accelerate the delivery of safe,
comfortable and personalized connected driving experiences. It
combines cloud infrastructure, edge technology as well as AI and
IoT services with a diverse partner ecosystem. With MCVP, Microsoft
offers a consistent, cloud-connected platform across all digital
scenarios on top of which customer-facing solutions can be built,
including in-vehicle infotainment, advanced navigation, autonomous
driving, telematics and prediction services, and over-the-air
updates. MCVP includes the hyperscale, global availability, and
regulatory compliance that comes with Microsoft Azure.
"The Ericsson and Microsoft partnership will deliver a
comprehensive connected vehicle platform at scale to the market.
Our integrated solutions will help automotive manufacturers
accelerate their global connected vehicle solutions and offer a
better experience for drivers and passengers," says Åsa Tamsons,
Senior Vice President and Head of Business Area Technologies &
New Businesses.
"This is an exciting new offering with great benefits for the
automotive industry, leveraging Ericsson and Microsoft's technology
leadership in connectivity and cloud."

vehicle services to help car makers focus on their customers' needs
and accelerate the delivery of unique, tailor-made driving
