Mercedes says that behind eXtollo it is the first cloud-based solution for evaluating large quantities of data on the basis of Microsoft's cloud and data platform Azure, which meets the car company's high security requirements. Big-data analyses are used, for example, in vehicle maintenance and development. The new cloud service makes it easier for Daimler employees to exchange data quickly, regardless of their location. The company can control and encrypt access to the data itself.
At the Mobile World Congress Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche will meet with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on 25 February 2019 from 5 p.m. They will talk about new co-operations and the technologies of the future and a corporate culture which is 'necessary to guide two heavyweights like Microsoft and Daimler successfully through the digital transformation'.
"For us, digitisation is more than zeros and ones. It is also a mindset. For us, an open corporate culture is just as much a part of the digital transformation as innovative ideas and new products", says Dieter Zetsche.
