CES 2016, LAS VEGAS – January 5, 2016 – HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE: HAR), the premier connected technologies company for automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, announced today its cloud-based service delivery platform for the connected car. The platform allows automakers and service providers to introduce and easily deploy new enterprise cloud services to connected vehicles. This new platform is the latest offering from HARMAN that targets the existing and future demands for scalability, security, and flexibility in the provisioning of connected car services for automakers and their customers.   

HARMAN’s Service Delivery Platform enables the launch of a variety of services including new software features after vehicle sale, vehicle data to predict part failures, forecasting for preventative maintenance, and analysis of warranty claims. It is a powerful, comprehensive framework with a collection of core services, third party services and management features, fully integrated with vehicle systems and updated seamlessly over the air.

HARMAN Service Delivery Platform includes a collection of managed and SAAS services available to automakers, including, but not limited to:

Among the first new service providers for HARMAN Service Delivery Platform is HERE, a leader in mapping and location technology which enables rich, real-time location applications and experiences for consumers, vehicles, enterprises and cities. Automakers can now deploy HERE Real Time Transport Protocol Experts Group (TPEG) Traffic through the HARMAN Platform. HERE Real Time TPEG Traffic delivers up to the minute information about traffic conditions and incidents that could cause delays, including slower than normal traffic flow, road works and accidents - improving the accuracy of arrival times.
