The project is already helping Cosworth to securely deliver key data to suppliers, reduce internal costs and delays related to sourcing and producing parts and improve supplier commitment. Cosworth Racing, founded in 1958 and owned by Ford Motor Company, is one of the most successful suppliers of engines to motorsport, including Formula One, CART and the World Rally Championship. Cosworth pursues automotive engineering excellence with more than 600 employees across factories located in Northampton UK and Torrance, California, which house some of the most technologically advanced design, manufacture and test equipment in motorsport. Looking to enhance efficiency, reduce operating costs and revolutionize its procurement processes, the company deployed Documentum eRoom with its suppliers to improve its processes for purchasing parts and supplies.

Cosworth Racing initially piloted the web-based application initially to 14 of its suppliers and is currently in the process of rolling out to all key stock suppliers.

"Also, the fact that our parent company Ford is a large eRoom user gives us confidence in the product." "Companies across all industries turn to Documentum eRoom to improve efficiencies in product development and supply chain initiatives, ultimately gaining competitive advantage, exemplified by Cosworth Racing, as a few seconds in racing can determine victory or defeat," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer for Documentum.
