F1 is all about technologies, it's pretty easy to see the evolution from when F1 started, the sport and the cars have evolved so much. Technology is fundamental in aerodynamics, is fundamental in the supply chain so in the procurement, but is also fundamental at the track.

Formula 1 is a very fast-living business. It's changing so fast everywhere, and to speed up the processes, because this is at the end also performance, we need a partner like Epicor to provide us with the software, to optimize all these processes and to make them efficient.

We are not a standard company let me say. We make a Formula 1 car, that is something really strange that you cannot see usually in the real world, so to have a flexible system, very fast, is something very important to us.

The car will improve after the race throughout the season, based on what we said after the ride or after the session, and team will analyze it in the data. Each member, each engineer, we all give our feedback to understand what we can do better, what went well, what went wrong, and basically how to improve the performance we are showing on track for the next session. Every time that we decide to improve a part of the car, it means that the parts are changed. Epicor Kinetic helped us very much to make big steps forward in terms of communication because now any user that requires some information, we can build up a solution for them.

Our life is easier now because the system is very flexible, very fast, and one other thing that for us, for our business is very important, Epicor is very easily customizable. Scuderia AlphaTauri is aiming to get more and more efficient in the next years.

We are pushing to get better performance, better communication, and especially better decision based on data. I really hope that in five years the team will belong to the top runners in Formula 1 because Scuderia AlphaTauri improved a lot in the last years, and if we continue to develop the team, then in five years time we must belong to the top teams in Formula 1, and this is, of course, the target.
