Moving to this Phase, ahead of schedule, demonstrates the agility and innovation delivered by Microsoft Dynamics AX. When every millisecond counts, Microsoft Dynamics AX will help the Lotus F1 Team track all of that data from design to deployment, helping boost productivity and giving it an edge on the track. This means the inception of the 2014 car build will be using the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Platform.

We are thrilled to announce that Lotus F1 Team has now officially gone live with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 in its Aerodynamics Division. Now this great partnership has reached an exciting new phase. As an official business transformation partner of Lotus F1 Team in 2012 we have witnessed exciting times, both in the factory, where Phase 1 of Microsoft Dynamics and Lotus F1 Team’s business transformation was completed in record time, and on the track, where we have seen results and exposure beyond our expectations. While we may only be 12 months into the project since the Phase 1 implementation, the benefits achieved have already resulted in an extension of the partnership into 2016. Since 2012, when the Lotus F1 Team decided to partner with Microsoft Dynamics, our focus has been on working together to support driving a total business transformation from manufacturing to the race track.

They wanted the ability to fine tune and drive every aspect of the business - from managing the design, manufacturing and testing of the 20,000-plus parts on each car to analyzing real-time data from the racetrack. The goal for implementing tools to support the Lotus F1 Team in their objectives all came down to finding an ERP solution that would integrate performance and manufacturing systems in a single environment.

Managing a time-sensitive operation like a Formula 1 team requires not only precision and nerves of steel, but also powerful and agile technology that empowers the people in the organization to be more effective. For the Lotus F1 Team every millisecond counts. Time is money, and for most businesses, every second counts.
