Automotive Insiders is presented by OESA, the Original Equipment Suppliers Association. Industry experts discuss Automotive hot topics to keep the Automotive Supplier Community up to date on the fast-changing mobility landscape. From post-pandemic manufacturing restart planning and worker safety measures, to legal issues and supply chain disruptions, Automotive Insiders is your source of timely and relevant content. Host Bonnie D. Graham welcomes Tom Madonna, Industry Executive Advisor for Automotive at SAP, and Nat Krishnan, Head of SAP Sales and Engagements for Manufacturing at Infosys. Tom Madonna and Nat Krishnan discuss how technology is helping automotive companies adopt and launch new business models faster, streamline costs and increase revenues. Customers’ wants and needs are driving companies to change how and how fast they provide new products and innovations. Nat shares examples including Ford’s Mobility subscription billing and Volvo’s car-as-a-service. As technology maturity (EV, ADAS, AV) drives market cap, evaluation, and other business decisions, older brick-and-mortar companies are being pushed to change. Nat notes that this maturity enables EV startups to adopt best-in-class business capability faster and cheaper than ever, in as little as 1–2 years for Lordstown, Fisker and Rivian. Companies are demanding “skin in the game” from technology services suppliers, including outcome-based commercial models and ERP-as-a-service.
