Automotive leaders succeed by converting complexity into clarity and speed. Veritis delivers that outcome with cloud automation on AWS. This case study shows how a global automotive organization reduced cost at scale, accelerated launch cycles, and strengthened compliance while exploring a durable engine for innovation.
Client Background
A multinational automotive enterprise operating across manufacturing, connected mobility, and digital services needed a modernization blueprint that delivered cost control, agility, and regulatory confidence. The organization selected Veritis for its proven leadership in large scale transformation and deep expertise in automotive cloud automation on AWS.
Challenges
1) Rising Total Cost of Technology
Data centers and fragmented estates have led to high operating expenses and inconsistent utilization.
2) Slow Release Rate
Provisioning delays and manual checks slowed digital programs and connected vehicle rollouts.
3) Complex Multiregion Compliance
Privacy, safety, and data residency requirements varied across markets, increasing risk.
4) Legacy Platform Constraints
Monolithic applications limited scalability for analytics, telematics, and partner integrations.
5) Limited Operational Visibility
Disparate tools obscured system health and delayed incident response across plants and regions.
Solutions
1) Value Architecture on AWS
Veritis designed a target architecture that aligned spend with measurable business value. Workloads were mapped to the right AWS services for performance, cost efficiency, and resilience. Clear guardrails and landing zones enabled fast onboarding for product teams without sacrificing control.
2) Automated Delivery Framework
Veritis implemented infrastructure as code and application pipelines using AWS CloudFormation and AWS CodePipeline with AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodeDeploy. Environments spun up in minutes. Policy checks, security scans, and quality gates run automatically. Releases moved from idea to production with reliable consistency.
3) Intelligent Operations
Veritis unified observability with Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X Ray, and Amazon OpenSearch Service. Real time telemetry across applications, networks, and plants enabled proactive detection and faster recovery. Runbooks and event driven remediation reduced toil and ensured predictable service levels.
4) Security and Compliance by Design
Veritis embedded identity, secrets, encryption, and configuration baselines from day one using AWS Identity and Access Management, AWS Key Management Service, AWS Config, and AWS CloudTrail. Every change produced an auditable trail. Regulatory mappings and automated evidence collection simplified audits across regions.
5) Data and AI for Automotive Advantage
Veritis established a secure data lake on Amazon S3 with governed access, curated zones, and analytics using Amazon Athena and Amazon Redshift. Amazon SageMaker enabled predictive maintenance, warranty analytics, and demand forecasting. The client gained insights that improved quality, uptime, and customer experience.
