Recently, a powerful collaboration focusing on data integration and the automobile

industry kicked off in Madrid. Leaders from Beijing, the Chinese Embassy in Spain,

and other organizations arrived at Denodo’s headquarters in Madrid, Spain,

to attend the signing ceremony between Denodo, a leader in data management,

and BAIC, a backbone enterprise of China’s automobile industry.

Together, they will explore the limitless possibilities of innovation amidst the wave of automobile digitalization.

As we stand at the dawn of the third decade of the 21st century, an unprecedented technological revolution is unfolding, with data capabilities emerging as the core driving force behind the future business landscape of enterprises. In the automobile industry, this transformation is even more dramatic. From groundbreaking advancements in autonomous driving to the widespread adoption of intelligent connected vehicles and the innovation of personalized services, every aspect relies heavily on the deep mining and application of data. Breaking down data silos has become the key determinant of whether a company can stand out in the competitive landscape.

 

Industry giants join forces to chart the blueprint for digital transformation

For three consecutive years, Denodo has been honored with the “Customers’ Choice” crown in the authoritative Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer” report on data integration tools. Additionally, it has been named a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools for four years in a row. This achievement not only demonstrates Denodo’s accumulation of technical strength but also reflects the market’s recognition of its solutions.

As a provider capable of achieving real-time integration and delivery across multiple data sources, Denodo significantly enhances the availability and flexibility of enterprise data, empowering businesses with stronger insights for decision-making. Currently, Denodo has covered over 1,000 customers, including numerous Fortune Global 500 and Global 2000 companies. Previously, Denodo also partnered with two giants in the cloud service domain (Amazon Web Services and Alibaba Cloud) to jointly push the boundaries of cloud-based data integration.

Today, Denodo has taken another milestone step by signing a

cooperation agreement with BAIC. As Dr. Ángel Viña, CEO of Denodo,

insightfully remarked, “The signing of this agreement with BAIC is a significant

milestone for Denodo on a global scale. Despite the nearly 10,000 kilometers

separating China and Spain, our goal is clear: to improve data management

practices and achieve data democracy, making it more readily accessible to all

business teams.” According to reports, the two parties will jointly establish a

collaborative laboratory to explore ways to apply data fabric technology in

intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, large language models, and

other fields, promoting the integration of data virtualization technology and

products into BAIC’s unified data foundation. Subsequently, BAIC will further

promote the extensive application of Denodo’s data management software in

digital transformation, platform construction, and cross-border data integration

within the group and its subsidiaries.

Unlocking the multifaceted value of collaboration: Exploring new heights in Automobile industry data potential

According to predictions from authoritative organizations, by 2030, 95% of vehicles on the road will be connected cars. Each automobile is expected to generate 25 GB of data per hour, equivalent to the amount of data required to play 578 hours of music. Once we enter the era of connected cars, the challenges for enterprise data management will be immense, and how to fully unleash the value of data may become the top priority.
