 Good afternoon everybody Hello, thank you for showing up at that Late afternoon here. I'm really happy to be on the stage today And may on our first CF summit. We just joined as the company Their community and the second Summit today. We are already with a keynote on the stage. So that's great So the last two days, I really enjoyed all the technical stuff I heard about Bosch. I heard about Diego and Until now I only knew Diego from Boyzburg as a Brazilian football star But now I know you go also from Cloud Foundry and heard about Logregators and CPIs and all that stuff. I really love this and enjoyed that but in our Presentation we would like to put it in a wider context. Why is this technology stuff so important for such a company like VW? and before starting with this, I would like to give you a Impression of the scale and size of Volkswagen Does anybody know which brands belong to Volkswagen? You know Volkswagen, but Does anybody know how many brands belong to Volkswagen? That's right. Okay, you are very close to Volkswagen. I know that Actually 12 brands belong to Volkswagen. So there are Volume manufacturers like Volkswagen like Seat like Skoda. They are premium manufacturers like Audi and Porsche luxury manufacturers like Bentley Lamborghini And Bugatti and Amy asked me what was my favorite car I said as she asked me as Volkswagen. It is Volkswagen R rally car But actually from the Volkswagen group. It is a Bentley because I've been CIO of Bentley and I really enjoyed driving the Bentley cars furthermore we have we have the commercial cars the commercial vehicles M&M Scania and The VW commercial and we have and motorbike brand with Ducati in our portfolio To give you a bit more facts and figures Volkswagen actually operates 118 plants and even more than 160 locations around the world We have more than 600,000 employees and on each weekday These colleagues produce nearly 41,000 vehicles and we sell those vehicles in 153 countries and we do an considerable investment in new technologies new driving concepts and efficient cars and more important in environmentally friendly product and productions Within this 600,000 colleagues we have Roughly 11,000 IT internal IT experts and This is a steadily increasing number especially in the area of software development Not only in the area of IT, but also in R&D and the electronic Development departments and sales and marketing and so on And the question is how can we leverage this potential of this 11,000 colleagues to drive the digital transformation of the Volkswagen group But what means the digital Transformation of the Volkswagen group Volkswagen always says and rich people's lives with fascinating products even some classic products like a Beetle or 9-eleven Porsche and of course there will be More fascinating products to come and we will also invest in product developments like autonomous driving or Into the e-mobility But besides this products We will also establish a complete new business area the area of mobility solutions in June 2016 we have probably Started the biggest change in Volkswagen and ever in our history in June we have Defined and opened the Volkswagen strategy together 2025 and there we have formulated a clear vision Volkswagen is to become a globally leading provider of sustainable mobility solutions and This means we want to Fascinate our customers not only with the products, but also the smart mobility Services and we have given us a goal to achieve a Double-digit billion sales revenue by 2025 with this mobility solutions We have already started to enter the market in the right hailing Area with the strategic partnership with get and we will put around this more services in parking in car sharing in Renting in fleet management and so on and so on This is only an illustrious picture doesn't show all of the Services but gives you an impression what I mean by moving a car company into a Service mobility company and Carsten will know Explain how we actually come to the most important bit to Support this we need to Come to a fast and rapid Manor of developing software and support the digital transformation of the company Carsten, thank you Roy So it started some some months some some years ago when our journey started Because of some guys who had from from the development departments They made them that's themselves some sorts about what to be changed and They had a clear idea and a clear vision of going agile that was very very new for us So for they they met in more or less Frequently sessions called themselves a community and then that was the nucleus of huge community we today have at the Volkswagen Company, so they started to move from a waterfall driven development area to their two agile methods and From this day, I think it's today. We have a half the way from the bridge done We are not satisfied with that what we have right now So that's a real good approach, but that's not all so the question was how to improve this This was a bottom-up process. So what do we want to have from top-down? and then Volkswagen We decided to initiate a lap you know, I think some of you are listen to our Jans yesterday They had a similar approach like this so we Decided to Initiate a lap in Berlin. It's a digital lap We call this why Berlin because Berlin has a good start-up atmosphere a good startup scene There are many many smaller companies with young people It's a hot place to be a cool place to be in a cool place to work So that's something that we decided to bring there so first of all there were two guys and they had The chance to build this This digital lab up and the first idea they had was we have to have a partner So they looked for several partners how to deal with this and at the end they Get a strategic partnership with pivotal who helped us then to bring all the methods and methodologies of Silicon Valley To Berlin and for in a broader step than also to Germany to Volkswagen at first book So so pivotal was the one who helped us in the user centric product development and test-driven quality as a part of the development process at the same time we had the cloud architecture which was set up in in in Berlin from open-stack environment on top of it to cloud foundry environment and So they had a platform which is scalable which is a worldwide available and all the kind of stuff You heard that many times before but how to get to the people there. So, you know We had one to two possibilities one was to pick some new employees The other one was to pick some out of the existing company and that was the choice we made so there were Nearly about 20 people who were hired from inside VW's company Move to Berlin and then set up the balance team that we have there So all in all this was the architecture in which they they work there until today So started with nothing in 2015 and by the end of this year We will have their 50 internal people by the end of next year It may be around about 100 internal people who are doing the development there So how does it look like today? today a day at the digital lab is nothing else than a Small startup company. Some of you might have been with it in the in the past It's the same thing like pivotal told us and and how they they they Organized this breakfast stand up luncheon learn iteration planning pairing retrospective You all know this these words and all you know these methods so that's something that they really really do every day and Told us then this this guy here is one of the leaders is peter gazarella from from the Berlin lab who who came came then to to Wolfsburg to Volkswagen and talked at every place were more than 10 Volkswagen IT guys met About the Berlin lab and how they do the work and how cool the place is and everything else But as you can see there at the first times people said hey what he's talking about They didn't really understand so he tried and and it repeated repeated and repeated and as one day so more and more people get excited of the idea of it and Started to think like the guys from Berlin and that was a pleasure they when so that we have now some people who are trying to to organize themselves with methods from from a real startup in a huge company not one by one for sure but They adapted in a way that it is handleable for us. So I think Yeah, that's Yeah, roughly a year ago. We decided For a technology strategy not only to fit the demands for the upcoming labs Berlin is so the first lab, but we also create more labs But also to fit the demands for the whole business And therefore we decided for a group wide global cloud infrastructure It is set up as an multi cloud environment and it is based on Mirantis open stack and with a pivotal cloud foundry platform on top of it and With this open source products, we believe we are independent from single cloud providers, but we can also Leverage all of the public cloud providers and in addition to our on-premise Open-stack cloud we can deliver to the demands of the huge company and the global footprint we have So that's one of the first things that went live by the by end of June this year So we had a little conference about Where we introduced the group by T cloud to some of our team members and then the staff for for sure and on that day Then the next generation website we call this went live. It's a car configurator. This is a rollout Started in the Spanish market. That's why the screenshots are in Spanish language and So that was the first time that an audience and at VW saw that we had some life deployments in a real-life system so So people sat there and then we deployed and deployed again and again and saw some things and they were really fascinated That was the first thing that we had there. This was just based on open-stack to be honest Cloud Foundry comes then in the next thing so about this Okay, so People then were infected by this or yes You saw what the Berlin has done and was the first the first Good examples that were moved so Then came more and more people on the to the idea so to set up their projects on the group IT cloud on the VW group IT cloud as well So it came that we now are this is our first the cloud Foundry project Some screenshots from our customer care app I think one of the leaders is here from the from the project team there So this was a real strange story or not strange a cool story for us because We decided to get this app up and running on the group IT cloud from the public environment To the private on-prem cloud at Volkswagen in about three weeks and we were not really done with pivotal Cloud Foundry at this at this moment, but All together then we did we did it and we went live and time and budget and that was a great success Another great success story for this So we've got all these elements. We've got Berlin from mythology Perspective then we've got a platform provided from VW group IT and that seems to be some kind of Magnetism that collects more and more people from our insight of IT staff to to to make the cloud bigger And bigger, and I think that's the story that we want to go forward Yeah Where something we are now now we have actually Created our technology strategy. We have our technology platform. We have also defined a strategy cloud first which means that each and every new application not only developed in the labs, but also in the traditional IT organization has to be Designed as a cloud native Application we have also put a CI CD tool chain to the platform that we have a full offer that we can provide the Developers and now we would like to increase the speed and to Move more and more applications on top of the cloud So this is from The point of view where we are with our project now on the other hand, I would like to To a point out that we are really happy to be part of the open source communities that I'm strongly Belief in open source not only in leverage the technology what we see with the Open stack and cloud foundry, but also leverage the partnerships the community idea getting the experience and the knowledge out of the partners we find here in In the community. So my wish is that we as a company Engaged more and more in this communities and that we come back to the next summit and that we have Created more partnerships and of course that we are coming back Also as code committers and probably have given something back to you as a community and I'm really looking forward to the next summit and Probably then we can have talks about the progress we have made so thank you very much for listening and Have a great Evening and a good travel back. Thank you very much. Thank you
