Case Study: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company achieves faster innovation and global collaboration with Office 365

Goodyear brings spirit of innovation to every facet of product development and delivery

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, a global tire manufacturer with 66,000 employees, needed to speed product development and unite geographically dispersed teams while maintaining security, privacy, and regulatory compliance. Associates had asked for a more integrated, modern set of tools to improve collaboration, mobile productivity, and overall efficiency across plants and offices worldwide.

Goodyear deployed Microsoft Office 365—including Exchange Online, Office 365 ProPlus, SharePoint Online, Skype for Business, Yammer, and OneDrive—using a phased rollout with executive sponsorship, departmental change enablers, training targets, and 24/7 live support. The move replaced legacy systems, improved real-time collaboration and mobile access, expanded knowledge-sharing networks, and delivered measurable efficiency gains that sped idea exchange and helped bring new products and services to market more quickly.
