RAC

In a move that marks a significant further shift towards “access from anywhere” cloud-based services for its customers, the RAC, a UK-based motoring organisation providing services for both private and business motorists, has selected Microsoft to add scale to its telematics platform and to transform data into new services.

Vehicle breakdown and insurance specialist RAC is using machine-to-machine (M2M) technology to improve performance of its breakdown fleet and reduce costs by remotely monitoring driver behaviour such as braking, cornering and adherence to speed limits, as well as improve response times to breakdown customers.
