It's clear that the global digital communications era is in full stride, and has a large influence on how people, companies, and governments interact and operate. The access to technology creates huge opportunities to work smarter, faster, and with greater productivity. However, the availability of digital technologies has generated new expectations and created new challenges: handling big data, managing large-scale investments in digital infrastructure, and evolving business-critical digital assets, to name a few.

These opportunities and challenges are also very real in our industry. Vehicle manufacturers are spending an ever-increasing amount of design time dealing with digital control systems, user interfaces, diagnostics, and vehicle software implementation. The development of vehicle software now offers machine builders ultimate customization on top of already mature components, and modern user features such as iPod docking stations are becoming the norm in many new machine classes.
