“AVANADE HAS
RE-WRITTEN OUR
TRACKSIDE DEVELOPMENT
TOOLS AND INTEGRATED
THEM IN A MUCH MORE
ACCESSIBLE PACKAGE”

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

a seamless and integrated part of the role each
engineer, technician and designer played on the
team. Partnering with Avanade, Lotus F1 Team is

infusing unified communications and collaboration
capabilities throughout their business procedures,
applications and technologies – ensuring continuous,
real-time collaboration among Lotus F1 Team, and
also its network of suppliers and partners. 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.
