Inspired by Scuderia Ferrari’s Formula 1 team, HP harnesses bleeding-edge technology and AI
to push the limits of performance and innovation. Can these advancements also usher in the
next frontier in workforce productivity?
Scuderia Ferrari
and HP are two of the world’s most trusted and iconic brands. Scuderia Ferrari epitomizes speed,
innovation, and perfection and is recognized as the most successful F1 racing team in history,
while HP is a leader in cutting-edge technology solutions that boost productivity and
efficiency.
Their historic partnership
underlines a shared passion for performance, innovation, and excellence. With a rich history of
pushing technological boundaries, both companies continue to redefine what’s possible, whether
on the racetrack or in the workplace.
Now, consider how Scuderia Ferrari’s relentless drive for innovation on the racetrack can
inspire similar advancements in your workplace. How far can the relationship between employees and their
technology go? Can AI enhance productivity in the same way it can support state-of-the-art
motorsport performance? Let’s take a closer look at how Scuderia Ferrari leverages technology to
stay ahead and how HP can bring the same level of precision, speed, and performance to the digital employee experience.
From Racetrack to Workplace: Technologies That Can Power the Workforce Experience
Breakthrough innovations across Formula 1 racing creates faster cars and improves reliability
and safety. With the right technologies, teams can make smarter, faster decisions that elevate
performance on and off the track.
Data and analytics in racing
In Formula 1, success is a direct result of optimizing every variable in a complex environment.
Downforce, temperature, tire performance, speed, torque, and driver response times are just a
few of the factors that can determine the outcome. As races unfold, teams face split-second
decisions that require advanced innovations to maintain a competitive edge.
Scuderia Ferrari leverages cutting-edge technology to anticipate problems before they surface,
ensuring their cars run at peak performance throughout every race. The cars are equipped with hundreds of sensors that generate massive amounts of data.
They can assess driver performance along with vehicle behavior and track conditions. This helps
them pinpoint areas for fine-tuning and optimize car setups, tire performance, and system
operations.
Artificial intelligence in racing
Race teams are now leveraging the power of artificial intelligence
for deeper insights and to optimize performance in ways never thought possible. AI is used to
analyze simulations, detect patterns in competitors’ behavior, save time and resources
through automation, perform millions of real-time calculations during races, and even expedite
the delivery of parts to the racetrack.
In F1, the impact of these technological advancements is clear. Vehicle speeds have gone from
90 mph to 230 mph (370 km/h), and DNF (did not finish) rates, including mechanical failures and
driver crashes, have improved from over 50% of starts in the 1980s to about 12% today.
Employees often feel overwhelmed
while IT teams must work overtime to optimize and manage their entire fleet of devices,
including PCs, printers, collaboration equipment, and more. However, the rise in digital
friction creates an opportunity to apply similar technologies used in motorsports.
Data and analytics in the workplace
Workforce telemetry is the automated process of collecting, transmitting, and analyzing data
from employee devices. Where Scuderia Ferrari leverages data, analytics, and AI to fine-tune car
and driver performance—companies can apply similar technologies across the modern
workplace.
Digital friction, such as system slowdowns, app crashes, delayed software updates, outdated
devices, or connectivity issues, can significantly disrupt workflows and reduce productivity.
Insights from workforce telemetry data can help anticipate IT issues before they impact users,
optimize resource utilization, and enable proactive solutions so employees can perform their
best, no matter where they work.
Artificial intelligence in the workplace
According to HP’s Work Relationship Index, 54% of knowledge workers, 72% of business leaders, and 70% of IT decision-makers believe AI
can improve the work-life balance. Employees also believe AI can streamline tasks and make their
jobs easier and more interesting.
AI will be instrumental in shaping the future of the workplace. Just as race teams leverage AI
to maximize performance, organizations can use telemetry and AI to automate repetitive tasks,
intelligently anticipate and remediate issues, and personalize IT across the workforce.
How HP Is Reinventing the Workforce Experience
At HP, we’re at the forefront of harnessing the power of AI. We now have the industry’s largest portfolio of AI PCs and devices, including the world’s most advanced business laptops, the world’s most comprehensive
workstation solution for AI development, and the industry’s broadest portfolio of certified
conferencing room solutions and headsets. These devices provide powerful tools to boost
creativity, foster collaboration, and deliver superior user experiences in hybrid work
settings.
In addition to hardware, the HP Workforce Experience Platform
is a device- and OS-agnostic digital employee experience solution that combines AI and telemetry
insights to proactively solve IT problems, reduce digital friction, and boost employee
productivity across the organization. It is a petabyte-scale data operation
that aggregates anonymized telemetry data from 38+ million connected devices to deliver the best
insights and recommendations to CIOs and IT leaders across the world.
Boasting native-AI capabilities for smart device refreshes, anomaly detection, automated
remediations, and the ability to create dynamic employee profiles, organizations can gather
feedback to personalize and improve digital employee experiences.
Why do these innovations and technology leadership matter?
For HP and customers, the benefits are clear across several key areas:
Reliability: IT teams can gain greater visibility and control over their
digital ecosystems and minimize disruptions to ensure everything runs smoothly. With telemetry,
IT teams can detect anomalies, predict and prevent system failures, maintain a 99.9% SLA for
operational uptime, and minimize employee downtime.
Performance and engagement: The modern workforce can use real-time telemetry
data from devices to identify productivity bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and allow
companies to
tailor productivity solutions for their employees.
Comparative analysis: Workforce telemetry gathers anonymized data from many
user devices and enables comparative analysis by benchmarking performance against industry
leaders. Organizations can identify best practices, performance gaps, and strategic
opportunities.
ROI: With telemetry data, organizations can use actionable insights to identify
underutilized resources, optimize asset allocation, lower costs, and extend the life of IT
assets.
The Future is Now
The future of work isn’t on the horizon—it’s unfolding right now. Inspired by the speed and
precision of Formula 1 and the Scuderia Ferrari team, HP is transforming how organizations
approach productivity and employee engagement. By leveraging the same data-driven, AI-powered
strategies that fuel Scuderia Ferrari’s success on the track, we’re ensuring that the modern
workplace is primed for victory.
