Case Study: Hendrick Motorsports achieves real-time racing insights and faster decision-making with Microsoft Corporation

NASCAR team speeds access to decision-making data with the help of Microsoft Services

Hendrick Motorsports, a NASCAR team with a record 11 championships, needed to gather and analyze race data fast enough to make split-second decisions during races. To stay ahead of 39 competitors, the team worked with Microsoft Corporation and used Microsoft Azure, Office 365, Windows 10, and related services to speed up access to real-time information and improve collaboration across devices.

Microsoft Corporation implemented a cloud-and-device solution that streamlined data processing, communication, and mobility across Hendrick Motorsports’ 650 users. The team pushed out 650 Windows 10 seats in under three months, cut image update and patch cycles from up to 5.5 hours to 2 hours, and reduced full machine upgrade time by more than 50 percent. With Azure and Cortana Intelligence Suite automating data analysis, Hendrick Motorsports could turn data into decisions faster and spend more time focused on the track.
