“AVANADE HAS RE-WRITTEN OUR TRACKSIDE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS AND INTEGRATED THEM IN A MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE PACKAGE” Alan Permane Lotus F1 Team’s Trackside Operations Director For Lotus F1 Team, its designers should not have to spend time seeking out new stand-alone tools to communicate with the engineers testing designs in the wind tunnel. Technicians should not have to learn entirely new workflows to share the 15-25 megabytes of data streaming from 320 sensors on the F1 car during each lap. Avanade worked with Lotus F1 Team to embed collaboration capabilities into an intuitive team site, in specialized applications and on devices they already used in their daily work. Working together, Avanade and Lotus F1 Team helped automate communications and collaborations between team members so they could run more computer simulations, test more concepts in the wind tunnel, and analyze more data from races – each improvement ultimately helping Lotus F1 Team save precious tenths of a second on race day. These communications-enabled business process make unified communications and collaboration a seamless and integrated part of the role each engineer, technician and designer played on the team.

Rather than rely on manual, stand-alone processes as traditional organizations do, the team used event-driven processes that automatically trigger communication and collaboration with decision-makers in the most effective way and on the most appropriate device. Unified communications and collaboration powers a more efficient business. For Lotus F1 Team, it helps integrate a range of workstreams – from wind tunnel analysis to trackside measurements – into one seamless workflow for faster decision-making. And in a business where faster decision-making means shaving valuable seconds off race results, the impact of teamwork is clear.
