Bosch Digital is recognized as a digital pioneer within Bosch, combining consulting and implementation skills to deliver IT and digital projects in close cooperation with customers. Bosch Digital comprises internal experts who provide wide-ranging IT services and digital solutions to the whole organization. Far more than a support function, the division is a key enabler of innovation and efficiency across Bosch’s business areas. It manages the network infrastructure, develops custom software applications, offers cybersecurity protection, and supplies cloud-based solutions.
Bosch Digital executes the multinational’s digital transformation through robust technology and services, such as code testing, quality checks, and developer training. Gamze Öztürk, head of the center of excellence for ERP product excellence at Bosch Digital, explains, “Our commitment to digital transformation is not just about technology; it’s about empowering our employees and enhancing their work-life balance. By providing flexible working conditions and fostering an inclusive culture, we ensure that our team members feel valued and supported in their professional and personal journeys.”
The digital division delivers fast, smart, scalable, secure, and intelligent solutions across 12 business divisions to help drive innovation and operational excellence. Following almost three decades of software development and multiple acquisitions, Bosch was using more than 50 ERP systems and 80 subsystems across more than 300 legal entities in over 100 countries. The business wanted to merge these complex legacy systems and modernize its IT landscape as well as reduce its technical debt and enable more-agile development by adopting a standardized system. It also sought to train more than 200,000 ERP users and retrain more than 1,000 IT experts.
