Think-it’s role

We ensured scalability through an extensive use of serverless architecture coupled with automated deployment and delivery with a combination of CodePipeline, Terraform, and CloudFormation. Additionally, the system was responsible for performing data gathering, analysis, modeling, and visualization using state of the art machine learning on Sagemaker.

Why it mattered

Our PoC was a data architecture that reliably ingested data and extracted insights to analyze driver behavior, delivered in a mobile-first UI. This AI-driven solution significantly enhances road safety, enables usage-based pricing models, and delivers personalized services to drivers. BMW was able to showcase the capabilities of a cloud-based infrastructure to fuel data-driven use cases that deliver superior user experiences. This proved the value to stakeholders, allowing them to double down on their cloud-native strategy.

What our partners say about us

BMW is in the middle of a digital transformation to bring the same operative excellence to our software supply chain that we have in our traditional production processes — and that requires external teams. But traditional waterfall outsourcing doesn’t cut it anymore in an iterative environment. We can’t just hand over tickets and wait — we needed a team we could truly collaborate with.
