It is almost cliché that the automotive industry is undergoing transformational change. Perhaps not since the Model T first revolutionized the industry has so much change come so quickly.

Linear, product-focused business models built on structured data are being replaced by collaborative, data-driven business ecosystems incorporating a broad group of traditional and non-traditional stakeholders and data types.

To that end, companies must also determine what tools and software will be necessary to most effectively leverage these new technologies.
