Satyam Computer Services has been accepted as an associate member of AUTOSAR {Automotive Open System Architecture), a partnership of automotive OEMs, suppliers, and tool vendors. The group's objective is to create and establish open standards for automotive electronics architectures to replace proprietary standards in the industry. AUTOSAR also provides standards for basic software, including the runtime environment, network, and nonvolatile management.

Satyam's participation in AUTOSAR will help it expand its footprint in the outsourced embedded automotive engineering services market

AUTOSAR's programs also facilitate the reuse of code, which leads to a more robust and sound software "foundation." Additionally, the ability to reuse automotive industry software reduces development costs and time-to-market. Satyam's participation in the consortium gives it access to AUTOSAR standards, including those not publicly accessible. It also enables the company to help its automotive clients develop innovative, inexpensive solutions for next-generation vehicles.
