ENGINEERING NEXT-GENERATION DIGITAL PRODUCTS

June 7, 2022

ENGINEERING NEXT-GENERATION
Software is rapidly becoming the foundation for most of the ways we work, live and play — a trend
known as “softwarization.” Software isn’t new, of course. But what’s changed is the degree to which
it determines a product’s user experience, revenue opportunities, longevity, competitiveness,
market differentiation and more.
Softwarization enables products to become “smart,” connected and even autonomous — capabilities
that they didn’t have when software was a limited part of their DNA. For example, passenger vehicles
and trucks have relied on software for decades to keep their engines running properly and efficiently.
With softwarization, they now can drive themselves and upload granular information about the
health and performance of every key component, helping avoid expensive breakdowns.
