Ja Moovit zit ook in Azure maps, zitten met 3 om de tafel.
Microsoft, Tom Tom en Moovit van Intel.
Onderstaand zegt Harold dat het normaal is, deal activity in de zomermaanden minder.
""But if I give you the general trend, and I think that's what you're asking for, we saw, particularly in the first half, very strong activity with a number of awards. We're very pleased with that. Over the summer months, this slowed down, and that is also to be expected, nothing unusual in that.
""And we said in earlier discussions that we're fully moving towards online presence of all of our products and services, and that has been well received by the industry. And we've won early subscribers to that vision earlier this year. So it's full steam ahead. Very happy also, that that gives clear direction to all the engineering teams and the product teams. The route we've chosen has been validated by those early wins, and that gives a lot of direction and, generally speaking, a move to an online life.
And I think that a bit further down the line that is going to be very important because we see further opportunities for simplifying our product offering. When everything is going online, we can really concentrate our efforts in that domain. And that will help us to reduce complexity in our overall product portfolio. To give you a bit more color on that, if everything is embedded, there are variants of different flavors, different operating systems, different screen sizes and so on and so forth, all those products require significant localization and installation efforts.
Those efforts often run in the millions of euros per contract. And we think that we can leverage the online technologies to reduce those costs, concentrate more on core product activity development and that should lead us to a better place and better future.""
Ik lees
- bijna alle produkten online, goed ontvangen door de industrie.
- we wonnen veel online contracten. wat dat betreft volle kracht vooruit.
- online, geeft een duidelijke richting aan onze engineering teams.
- de beweging, richting naar een online leven is ingezet.
- we zien verdere vereenvoudigingen voor onze producten.
- als alles online gaat kunnen we onze inspanningen daar op concentreren.
- het oude embedded systeem bracht veel meer kosten met zich mee.
- online vermindert onze kosten met miljoenen.
I think it's, generally speaking, a wash, but we're excited about the direction. It will deliver a much improved end-user experience, which allows us to better compete with mobile experiences.
- de online richting maakt ons heel blij, het levert een veel betere eind gebruiker ervaring op en we kunnen veel beter de competitie aan met mobile ervaringen.
But I think we -- so far, we're holding course and everything is going according to plan. So no major shift in the competitive landscape that we have seen in the last quarter.
- we zitten op koers, alle loopt volgens plan.
Geen grote verandering in het competitie landschap zien we in Q3.
HD maps buiten de VS en west Europa pas op de plaats.
Pas op de plaats maken de oems ook, lijkt me logisch in corona tijd.
Harold hoe is de voortgang met Microsoft.

I don't have the actual API calls. But what we can see is further deepening of the relationship, so the traffic is going up. The use cases are expanding, we're moving into the Bing mapping platform now that will also drive a lot more traffic and interaction. So I would say that, that relationship, the partnership with Microsoft is on track and developing in line with our expectations.
They have a kind of an independent activity in automotive. They're coming from a different angle and that is to provide a cloud platform to collect vehicle data, interact with its customers, do data analytics and so on and so forth. They can do that independent from us or any other unit vendor. We are aware of their plans. We are aware of the commercial success, we collaborate where possible.
There's a good exchange, and collaboration there. But they are different products. So you have a cloud-based data analytics platform and a more embedded or in-car location technology platform that we are providing and there are ways to connect those two systems, obviously. But I think important for us is at the commercial level, that's all well. And we have a fairly good picture of what's happening in the marketplace.
- I don't have the actual API calls.
Wat een gel.l, dat weet harold 100% zeker :-)
Volgens mij is de snelheid er een beetje uit bij HD door corona, lijkt me logisch.
Voor mij, geen opvallende dingen.
Prettig weekend.
