Future vision
McLaren’s partnership with SAP isn’t just
about having the best possible IT systems –
it’s about predicting the future
WHEN your business trades on being fast – indeed, on
being fastest – everything about your operation has to
help it achieve that goal. So for McLaren, whose divisions
encompass Formula 1, supercar manufacturing and a
cutting-edge applied technologies unit, every gain in
efficiency equates to fuller delivery on the ambition of
being the best.

And in an ever more technologically driven age, having the
leanest, most efficient IT infrastructure to support that
ambition has become not just desirable, but essential. In
McLaren’s case that means broadening and deepening
its partnership with SAP to encompass the latest
developments in cloud-based IT support and data analysis.
For more than a year now McLaren has been live in parts
of its operations with a variety of SAP solutions, designed
to unify systems, improve efficiency and streamline its
business as it prepares for future expansion.
