From hardware-designed to software-defined
The semiconductor industry is in the middle of a massive transformation, with new chips driving growth across dimensions, including Gen AI, Edge computing, security, and sustainability, and within various industries, such as automotive, life sciences, and fintech. Semiconductor companies are seeing an explosion in the complexity and diversity of their products and specifically demanding far more specialized and software-centric solutions at a scale that the chip industry cannot meet or effectively monetize.
Introducing Softwarization for Semiconductors
With Softwarization for Semiconductors, the vision of Chip to Industry can be realized in a timely, cost-effective way. It enables the development of a more standardized, limited set of base chips that can be customized for various industries and solutions through software.
Capgemini uniquely can act as a transformation partner to enable chip makers to deliver full solutions for the new needs of the industry because of our combination of silicon and software engineering, deep vertical industry expertise, platform accelerators, and validated software architecture.
In essence, softwarization – monetizing software solutions, rather than just traditional hardware – is a new growth business direction for semiconductor companies. Therefore, we call it: “Softwarization for Semiconductors.”
