| SAP | Legacy | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2021 | 2021 |
In 2021, Audi implemented SAP S/4 HANA as an ERP Financial deployment to accelerate real-time finance and controlling processes across the company. The SAP S/4 HANA implementation is positioned to support financial accounting while being extended to simplify controlling, consolidation and data management, and to deliver modern SAP Fiori user experiences for mobile and intuitive access.
Implementation scope covered core finance and adjacent functions, with explicit configuration of SAP S/4 HANA for financial accounting and planned rollouts into controlling and consolidation. SAP Business Warehouse was migrated onto the SAP HANA database to provide analytics support for the ERP Financial environment, with a BW footprint reported at roughly 6 TB of analytic data running on a server with 12 TB of main memory.
The deployment architecture is an on-premises, IBM Power Systems based landscape, using IBM POWER9 processors across multiple server classes including Power System E980, E880, S824 and E850 in two data centers. The environment leverages SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, IBM PowerVM virtualization, IBM PowerHA clusters for high availability, and features such as Live Partition Mobility to balance SAP workloads and maintain business continuity. Audi also integrates hybrid cloud connectivity using SAP Cloud Platform Connectivity and the cloud connector to support cloud-based SAP SuccessFactors for workforce management, while custom manufacturing management systems continue to run on IBM AIX with IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM MQ and IBM Db2.
Governance and rollout were executed with IBM Services providing project management, quality assurance and ongoing managed services, and SVA supplying infrastructure as a service under a consolidated service contract. Audi consolidated SAP workloads onto POWER9 servers and more than 250 SAP instances and management systems run on the Power Systems platform, yielding outcomes reported by Audi such as a 66% reduction in physical servers for core SAP workloads, a 50% reduction in BW database size, and loading of operational data into the data warehouse up to 100 times faster. Audi SAP S/4 HANA ERP Financial supports finance and controlling functions companywide and is being scaled to provide shared SAP ERP services to other Volkswagen Group brands.

| SmartDreamers | Legacy | SmartDreamers | Candidate Relationship Management | HCM | n/a | 2019 | 2019 |
In 2019, Audi implemented SmartDreamers Candidate Relationship Management for its Romania recruiting operations. Audi deployed SmartDreamers as an enterprise SaaS recruitment marketing automation platform to centralize Talent Acquisition and Employer Branding workflows for the Romania business.
The implementation configured SmartDreamers to support the platform’s Attract, Engage, Convert and Measure capability set, using AI and RPA to automate campaign orchestration, candidate segmentation and engagement workflows. SmartDreamers was instrumented to run end-to-end recruitment marketing campaigns and to capture conversion and engagement signals for downstream talent pipelines.
Integrations focused on the platform’s connections to social media and online channels, leveraging those channels as primary candidate reach and engagement surfaces. The deployment covered Audi’s regional Talent Acquisition and Employer Branding teams in Romania, aligning candidate outreach, campaign delivery and measurement across those operational nodes.
Operational governance aligned campaign templates, targeting rules and measurement workflows under the regional TA organization, with centralized oversight for campaign consistency and employer brand control. SmartDreamers is described as boosting employer brand visibility and reducing time-to-hire and cost-per-hire through AI-driven targeting and automated recruitment marketing, consistent with the vendor’s stated capabilities.

| VMware by Broadcom | Legacy | VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA | AI infrastructure | AI Development | n/a | 2024 | 2025 |
In 2024, Audi Germany is positioned to adopt VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, leveraging its existing VMware Cloud Foundation private cloud that centralizes infrastructure for factory automation and smart manufacturing in Germany. This positioning links Audi Germany, VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, and the AI infrastructure category to on‑premises initiatives that support industrial automation and manufacturing engineering functions.
The inferred implementation profile anticipates core AI infrastructure capabilities such as model lifecycle management, Kubernetes based model orchestration, GPU scheduling and acceleration for training and inference, and secured data access controls. VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA would be configured to run on top of the VMware Cloud Foundation stack already used by Audi, aligning compute virtualization and container orchestration with GPU resources for operational AI workloads.
Integrations are described explicitly around VMware Cloud Foundation and NVIDIA GPU acceleration, with operational coverage focused on Audi’s factory automation and smart manufacturing environments in Germany. The deployment structure is centralized private cloud infrastructure, enabling model development and inference workloads to be hosted within Audi’s controlled data centers rather than public cloud footprint, consistent with the AI infrastructure posture.
Broadcom and VMware public messaging lists Audi as a VMware Cloud Foundation customer and positions VCF customers to adopt the joint Private AI solution, therefore the use of VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA at Audi is presented as an informed inference rather than a confirmed standalone case study. Implementation would require governance for model access, data protection, and phased rollout across manufacturing sites, and this narrative explicitly notes that public sources confirm VCF use but do not publish a dedicated Private AI case study for Audi.
