Renault Sport F1, which is supporting four teams in this years FIA Formula One World Championship, is managing multiple CAD systems and configurations using data interoperability tools from Elysium. 
Since our suppliers use a wide variety of CAD products, we must have the capacity to exchange data and models quickly and accurately, said Bernard Senges, IS/IT manager for Renault Sport F1. Our Elysium solution automatically translates everything into the format we want with the extremely high quality our business demands.
Renault recently renewed their software and service contract with Elysium following an eight-year partnership. Before we began working with Elysium, it was very challenging to send files and blueprints back and forth with suppliers who used a variety of different CAD systems,says Senges. Now we have a supplier portal through which everyone can send and receive data in the format they want. The Elysium solution automatically encapsulates our process and flow, translating everything efficiently and reliably.
Renault provides the RS27 V8 engine to the 2012 Red Bull Racing, Lotus F1 Team, Williams F1 Team and Caterham F1 Team "all of which were in the top 10 Constructors ranking of the Championship as of mid-June.
