Tier1s, ISV‘s, other partners creating additional customer services that can be leveraged by OEMS („sell‐through“)

Partners (e.g. SIs, Tier1s) hosting and managing the MCVP instance for the OEM. 

Additional services to extend the end‐to‐end platform(Connectivity, HD maps, etc.)

• OEMs: Targeting automakers that are willing to leverage an open platform to let other ecosystem partners deliver their services to the OEM’s car/customer.

• Mobility providers: Including car‐sharing, ride‐hailing, rental, fleet companies. 

• Tier1s: Innovative Tier1 suppliers that are seeking to enrich their existing automotive products with digital services to offer a higher value to the end‐customer. 

• ISVs (Independent Software Vendors): Software‐native companies that enrich the MCVP platform with 3rd party services that bring value to the OEM, end‐customer or other partners of the ecosystem, often taking advantage of heterogenous hardware in the car.

• SIs (System Integrator): Companies that are able to build and run the OEM’s or Tier1’s version of the MCVP instance and deliver additional services on top.

2. Designed for scale (multi-region), support for operations and high availability and disaster recovery. Digital twin of Vehicle

3. AAD and other authentication – based claims for comprehensive vehicle+user+services+… management

4. ADLSG2 default with optional integration with Common data model and Azure Maps multi modal route optimization, smart cities, traffic and ride hailing for digital transformation

5. Optional integration with connectivity and OTA providers6. Optional integration with Azure 1st Party services delivered

in vehicle. RAPID development and delivery of new services to vehicles-based extension model
