Case Study: Dana Incorporated achieves greater accuracy and smoother product launches with Microsoft Azure and Office 365

Dana Holding Corporation - Customer Case Study

Dana Holding Corporation, a global automotive supplier with about 23,000 employees across nearly 100 locations, faced the recurring challenge of coordinating annual product launches across dispersed teams. Previously reliant on spreadsheets, emailed drawings, and ad-hoc meetings, the company needed a more structured, repeatable launch process to keep pace with rapid industry cycles and reduce errors.

Dana implemented a solution built on Microsoft Office 365 and Azure with Skype for Business for meetings and screen sharing, creating a single source for issue logs, specs, timelines, and financials. The centralized workflow improved visibility for stakeholders, leading to smoother, more accurate launches, faster decision-making, lower development costs (supporting better margins), enhanced employee collaboration and experience, and an easier time attracting new talent.
