Luxoft, an NYSE-listed Russian software and IT solutions provider, announced earlier this week the opening of its first delivery office in Germany. The firm’s 19th global department is strategically located in Stuttgart, where Luxoft hopes to “solidify the company’s nearshore capabilities in project management and software engineering.”
Specifically, the new delivery office will foster business interactions with “automotive OEMs [original equipment manufacturers], tier 1 suppliers, and mobility service providers worldwide,” explained Michael Minkevich, Luxoft’s Vice President for technology services.
Luxoft is widely regarded as a leading developer of state-of-the-art human-machine interfaces (HMI) for next generation automotive solutions. In its December 2012 review of the auto sector’s most far-reaching trends, Gartner named Luxoft among the world’s four key providers of connected vehicle technology and services in such important functional areas as telematics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs), infotainment, and mobility services.
