Rightware and Profilence strengthen strategic collaboration

Advanced infotainment systems have become essential in modern automotive ranges, offering convenient controls for the options opened up by the power and capabilities of software-defined vehicles. However, these complex developments can create significant time and money costs if defects are discovered, especially when that happens late in the project process.

Infotainment development projects need early detection of critical issues to ensure milestones can be hit on time and to prevent hidden issues from reaching end users.

Preventing problems in the development phase of the UX and increasing stability will improve customer satisfaction and drive standards through better end products. This feeds into Rightware’s vision to increase the overall quality of HMI systems within the automotive industry.

Together, Kanzi One and the Profilence analytics suite create efficient developments since Profilence helps identify system wide stability and performance issues at an early stage while Kanzi One enables smooth HMI development from prototype to production. This combination is beneficial in multiple scenarios that create significant business impacts, including for immediate developer feedback and faster validation, in agile environments, and more.

As a result of the partnership, the Profilence analytics suite is now available through Rightware. This leverages Rightware’s extensive technical knowledge of automotive HMI developments to determine when customers would benefit from this official linkup.

“The benefits of early identification of critical issues when developing an infotainment system can’t be understated. It means a more stable product and faster time to market,” said Tero Koivu, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Rightware. "This makes Kanzi One and the Profilence analytics suite an ideal combination, and we’re delighted to extend our partnership with Profilence further since it will deliver significant benefits to our customers."

"We are thrilled that Rightware has become our ambassador in bringing Profilence’s advanced stability and performance solutions to a wider audience," said Sami Utriainen, CEO of Profilence. "Their global customer base, consisting of leading automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, will greatly benefit from our solutions by ensuring that software performs reliably under real-world conditions. Rightware’s focus on creating visually stunning user interfaces perfectly complements our mission to ensure those interfaces are stable and dependable. This partnership combines the best of both worlds—beautiful design and rock-solid performance."

Looking ahead, Rightware and Profilence will continue to collaborate further and leverage each other's technology and expertise to serve the automotive market best.
