EPAM: EPAM Develops Automotive-Optimized Cloud Computing Reference Solution for Renesas Electronics' Connected Cockpit Vehicle

EPAM's Software-First View Enables Transformative Business Models for
Hardware-Centric Auto Industry 

NEWTOWN, Pa., 2017-12-05 16:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM), a leading global provider of digital platform
engineering and software development services, today announced its
collaboration with Renesas Electronics, a premier supplier of advanced
semiconductor solutions, to develop a cloud computing reference solution
optimized for connected cockpit systems, for storage and distribution of facial
models used for driver recognition. 

EPAM's cloud-based solution optimized for automotive will be part of the
Renesas Connected Cockpit Vehicle at CES in January in Las Vegas, NV. 

Automotive cloud technology is transforming vehicles from self-contained,
transportation-focused machines to sophisticated, internet-connected platforms
that integrate with entirely new business models. Driven by the increasing
capabilities offered by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data and
machine learning, automotive cloud technology has the potential to
fundamentally change the way consumers interact with automotive OEMs, dealers
and mobile-solution providers. EPAM's software-first view of the auto industry
led to the development of a smart, auto-specific, cloud-based solution for the
Renesas Connected Cockpit Vehicle. 

"We see the future of connected vehicles as exclusively 'Software-First,'" said
Alex Agizim, CTO Automotive & Embedded Systems at EPAM. "Renesas is leading the
push to transform the in-car experience, and our collaboration has enabled a
new cloud solution that not only creates a more integrated and personalized car
experience, but also effectively integrates the car as a component of the
cloud, positioning the vehicle as part of an extended range of enterprise
business models." 

The full potential of automotive cloud technology requires all systems and
subsystems - both within a vehicle and between manufacturers - to work together
from a connected software perspective. 

"Renesas focuses on developing innovative, high-performance automotive
technology solutions for connected vehicles," said Craig Johnson, Director,
Automotive Advanced Systems Innovation Department at Renesas. "Through our
partnership with EPAM, we are creating an automotive smart cloud demonstration
that interacts seamlessly with our connected cockpit vehicles and has the
ability to make decisions based on driver preferences."
