Case Study: Renault Sport Formula One Team achieves accelerated innovation and operations with Office 365

Formula One racing team accelerates innovation and operations using Office 365

Renault Sport Formula One Team, based in Enstone, UK, designs and builds the chassis and transmissions for its F1 cars and relies on massive, highly sensitive data streams to drive innovation and race‑week decisions. The team faced challenges managing thousands of work orders, billions of telemetry data points per weekend, cumbersome spreadsheets, and the need to protect intellectual property while enabling fast, distributed collaboration between factory, R&D sites, and race locations.

The team deployed Microsoft Office 365 E5 (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive), Power BI, Dynamics 365, Azure Machine Learning, and advanced security tools to centralize data, replace spreadsheets with live dashboards and Q&A self‑service, and run ML‑driven simulations. The result: faster, real‑time insights into manufacturing and race operations, streamlined work‑order planning, improved simulator accuracy for tire and performance analysis, stronger data protection and threat detection, and more effective collaboration and communications on and off the track.
