How digital world drives innovation at Daimler

Daimler will rely on its latest digital technologies for another leap in development - that was the message from the German premium vehicle manufacturer through its information technology organization.

On a tech day event last Thursday, Daimler highlighted its global IT strategy while providing an opportunity to learn how that part of the company works in China.

"In line with 'our think global, act local' philosophy, Daimler's IT organization with more than 6,900 employees at 500 locations worldwide is expanding its global presence through regional IT structures that advance our global 2020 growth strategy," said Michael Gorriz, chief information officer of Daimler AG.
