VSI Labs is the leading researcher and advisor to companies that design and develop automated vehicle technologies. They offer various research portals that support product & technology planning, competitive analysis, IP discovery, and engineering and development.

Upon VSI’s founding in 2014, Phil Magney needed an IT partner to help build VSI into a subject matter expert on technical and applied research for the autonomous vehicle industry.

We created a web-based platform compatible across multiple devices for the user interface of VSI’s autonomous vehicle news portal with backend services for the content management and built an engine to scrape websites for content. We then integrated a paid subscription service for companies and their employees to access the portal and view information.

Success of this syndicated news portal evolved into the development of a custom database for all the components used in a self-driving car, from the different prototypes being used in the marketplace to what the big organizations are using and selling.

VSI’s research services have become an invaluable tool for understanding technology trends and developing architectural strategy. Today, VSI is considered one of the industry’s top advisors to R&D and planning departments within major automotive companies and suppliers worldwide.

The collaborative innovation between VSI and JMG has led to the pioneering of a line of API services which will be used by several Fortune 1000 organizations to enhance their internal research projects.
