July 01, 2025The global automotive industry is undergoing a profound structural transformation. Electrification, connected ecosystems, autonomous driving, and shared mobility are reshaping not just vehicles but also the underlying frameworks through which innovation is developed and delivered. Technology has become central to competitiveness, challenging traditional product development models through the rising need for software-first thinking, modularity, and digital continuity across the vehicle lifecycle. This transformation is taking place amid growing macroeconomic and geopolitical complexity. Inflation, interest rate hikes, and evolving trade policies are exerting cost pressures and creating operational uncertainty. Simultaneously, shifts in consumer demand, stricter environmental regulations, and competitive intensity are compelling automotive enterprises to rethink their focus on engineering investments. The focus is moving from mechanical systems to software-defined architectures due to the need for faster innovation, real-time features, and long-term platform flexibility. This report examines how leading automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and tier-1 suppliers are realigning their R&D strategies in response. It examines the move toward centralized compute platforms, over-the-air update capabilities, embedded software ecosystems, and tier-0.5 supplier models. The report highlights the growing reliance on global capability centers as scalable hubs for software development, validation, and systems integration. Together, these shifts mark a decisive evolution in how automotive firms approach technology, talent, and transformation.

June 30, 2025Telecom operators face rising complexities from large-scale, always-on networks, rapid 5G expansion, hybrid infrastructures, and increasing customer expectations for zero downtime. Traditional tools such as ticketing and network management systems and siloed dashboards, while providing visibility, lag in agility and autonomy. This leads to frequent manual escalations, monitoring silos, and slower incident response, making this approach increasingly unsustainable over time. Systems of Execution (SoE) offer a powerful shift by autonomously detecting issues, making decisions, and acting in real time. For telecom, this translates to intelligent anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and self-healing networks, bringing a proactive approach to operations. By fusing AI-driven diagnostics, dynamic orchestration, and automation across the network, SoE minimize downtime, speed up resolution, and improve resource use. The payoff: stronger SLA performance, lower costs, and higher customer satisfaction. This Viewpoint unpacks how SoE are revolutionizing telecom operations, highlighting their unique architecture and value. It also provides a practical adoption roadmap for CIOs to drive transformation at scale.

State of the Market
Semiconductor Engineering State of the Market 2025
June 30, 2025The semiconductor industry remains the backbone of digital innovation, from AI and cloud computing to autonomous vehicles and next-generation mobility. After a volatile 2023, the industry rebounded selectively in 2024 with strong growth in high-performance computing, AI accelerators, and advanced-node foundry services. However, this growth is uneven. While global leaders surged with cutting-edge R&D and close ties to hyperscalers, others struggled with legacy demand and geopolitical restrictions. Amid these shifts, the engineering segment of the semiconductor value chain is transforming. Generative AI, chiplet architecture, photonic-electronic co-design, and heterogeneous integration are rethinking their design and manufacturing strategies. Simultaneously, automotive and consumer Original Equipment Makers (OEMs) are increasing their internal silicon initiatives. Additionally, Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have emerged as pivotal hubs to scale innovation, access talent, and mitigate supply risks. This report serves as a comprehensive guide for stakeholders navigating the evolving semiconductor landscape. It offers a data-driven analysis of market dynamics, engineering outsourcing trends, provider positioning, and strategic imperatives for enterprises and suppliers.

Systems of Execution (SoE) in Manufacturing: Enabling Agents to Revolutionize Shop Floor Operations
May 20, 2025Smart manufacturing, the cornerstone of Industry 4.0, empowers factories to think, adapt, and act autonomously. Yet, most enterprises remain stuck in a loop of fragmented insights, rigid automation, and siloed systems. Systems of Execution (SoE) offer the missing operational layer that transforms smart manufacturing from a digital aspiration into an autonomous reality. Unlike traditional Systems of Record, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), or Systems of Engagement, such as mobile dashboards and human-machine interfaces, SoE activate real-time intelligence. They autonomously orchestrate decisions and adapt workflows across the factory ecosystem, resulting in predictive, agile, and resilient manufacturing operations. This Viewpoint explores SoE’s strategic necessity in smart manufacturing and offers a blueprint for manufacturing leaders to build adaptive, intelligent, and hyper-efficient production environments. Scope Industry: manufacturing Geography: global Content In this report, we: Define SoE in the manufacturing context Identify traditional manufacturing system limitations Examine the business case for SoE in smart manufacturing Recommend a roadmap to execute the SoE vision Memberships Engineering Research and Development Sourcing and Vendor Management

April 03, 2025In April 2025, the U.S. announced a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles and selected components, targeting OEMs and suppliers across global markets. This is compounded by a hardware-software ban on Chinese and Russian tech in connected vehicles. The policy aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing and safeguard national security, but is already driving up vehicle prices, delaying purchases, and triggering supply chain realignments. OEMs are stockpiling inventory, reassessing sourcing, and shifting toward higher-margin models. Suppliers face cost inflation and compliance challenges, while consumers are shifting to used vehicles. Service providers have an opportunity to guide clients through this disruption with supply chain diagnostics, logo-level exposure analysis, and tech-driven engineering support. In this Viewpoint, we explore the near- and long-term implications of these policies across the automotive value chain, including their impact on OEMs, suppliers, consumers, and the opportunities they create for service providers. Scope Industry: Automotive Geography: Global Contents This research outlines Everest Group’s perspective on the business implications of the U.S. auto import tariffs and hardware-software ban, with specific insights for OEMs, suppliers, consumers, and service providers.
