LOTUS RACING APPOINTS EBECS LTD TO KEEP ITS SOFTWARE SYSTEMS ON TRACK FOR THE 2010 F1™ SEASON

Microsoft Business Solutions partner eBECS has been appointed by Lotus Racing to deliver a flexible software solution based on Microsoft Dynamics AX that will satisfy its demanding short term needs and also support its long term strategy.

eBECS was the partner of choice for Lotus Racing because of its experience in the automotive industry and its ability to implement successful and demanding Microsoft Dynamics solutions within short time frames.

Bill Peters, Head of IT, Lotus Racing, explains, “We came to the grid with a lot to do in a short time frame. We needed an entirely new solution that would assist in our aim of being ahead of the new teams when we all reach Bahrain, and also to support our objective of being close to the midfield teams after the first few races of the season. Peters continues, “We chose eBECS for their excellent reputation in the automotive industry and also because they took the time to listen carefully to our needs and then proposed a solution that really worked for us”

Stephen Wilson, Marketing Director, eBECS, comments, “We see Lotus as one of the most evocative names in British motor racing and we are thrilled to be working alongside Lotus Racing on such an exciting challenge.”
