McLaren implemented SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to replace legacy hardware and unify business functions including supply chain, finance, engineering, and quality control. The platform enables sub-second analysis of 200 GB of Formula One sensor data per race weekend and supports 300,000 race simulations per second. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting was deployed in the cloud to improve talent acquisition analytics. The company reduced administrative overhead by consolidating data on a single platform and plans to expand into predictive analytics and mobile process automation with SAP Fiori.
