What our clients say
SE enabled our transformation
Head of E/E – Automotive R&D Centre
The increasing value of software-based functions in modern vehicles requires fundamental changes. By applying a tailored model for E/E architecture development, SE successfully supported us in redefining our business model, product portfolio, processes and organization. Together, we are on the right path towards a successful future.
What our clients say
SE guided product portfolio strategy
Head of Strategy – Leading electronics supplier
Electrified vehicles will be a key future market for us. So, together with SE we are reviewing and modifying our product portfolio strategy until 2030. Our future competitive advantages need to be based on our current strengths. SE successfully supported us in preparing exactly this: We now have an implementable recommendation on how to fine-tune our product portfolio and our go-to-market strategy for electrification.
What our clients say
SE trained us in cost excellence
Head of PLM – Renewable Energy world market leader
Cost competitiveness is maybe the key success factor in renewable energy. After our successful merger, SE supported us in introducing a comprehensive set of cost-effective methods and tools. In addition, their team of experts helped us to fill our measure pipeline across all turbine platforms. This is the basis on which we will build our future competitiveness.
