Micro Focus joins Jaguar Racing as official technical partner
Run and Transform

Micro Focus technology capabilities are set to undergo the ultimate test.

The enterprise software giant has partnered with UK-based Formula E team Jaguar Racing ahead of season seven of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Micro Focus joins the Formula E team as the official digital transformation, business resiliency and analytics partner, providing technological support to Jaguar Racing’s quest for racing success.

Motor racing takes an incredible toll not just on the vehicles, but also on the systems behind the scenes. For teams and partners, racing acts as the ideal testing platform for cutting-edge technology.

The modern Formula E racing car is essentially an intelligent, connected data platform on wheels. Every aspect of the car is monitored by hundreds of sensors, measuring lap times, tyre and brake temperatures, airflow and engine performance. Behind the scenes are numerous technologists monitoring everything from tyre wear, engine health and power output to numerous other factors in real-time.

The benefits of such extreme operating conditions allow designers and engineers to improve upon existing technology, both in-car and the IT systems that keep an eye on the cars in the background.

DATA ANALYTICS

A Formula E team captures gigabytes of telemetry data during the race, as well as terabytes more of engineering and test data at the factory. Increasingly, success or failure on the track has as much to do with the driver as data analytics. With a broad portfolio underpinned by a deep inventory of advanced analytics, Micro Focus is the ideal partner for Jaguar.

Micro Focus already helps more than 40,000 customers around the world achieve strategic outcomes – accelerating delivery, simplifying transformation, strengthening resilience and analysing in time to act – essential qualities for winning both in the boardroom and on the track.
