The team constantly runs detailed, long-term tests to explore how to improve the performance of Rolls-Royce engines and the lead times between maintenance. Hughes points to an internally developed Power App that delivers a 24/7 on-call system for the company’s research and development department. That’s truly what will move productivity and engagement forward.” “What I’m chasing is the people in our organisation feeling empowered, and knowing they can change things. It’s that we’re much more effective now,” Hughes reflects. “It’s not just the cost savings we have made, or the licences that we’ve avoided. Citizen power: The value of employee engagementįor Hughes, technology prowess and productivity have been the biggest wins when implementing Power Apps. The app has been so successful that it’s now used by everyone in the test and development department. “If there are any open issues that you encounter during the day, they get flagged to the right people so they can resolve those straight away,” Toplis explains. His Power App clearly lays out new information, can be updated in real time, and offers a reliable way to chart the history of any ongoing concerns. Toplis joined Rolls-Royce as an engineering apprentice before developing a Power App to help the engine design team rationalise the voluminous spreadsheets and emails shared between teams at the end of every shift. Derby-based test engineer Stephen Toplis is one such example. Hughes believes that the company’s digital solutions benefit from being created by people across the business, not just those working in IT. Rolls-Royce has to be at the front of that to have a long-term business.” Democratising company-wide solutions
“Our whole business model just wouldn’t be possible without big data, analytics, and IoT, for example,” explains Stuart Hughes, Chief Information and Digital Officer for Rolls-Royce. “Digital transformation, coupled with the transition to net zero and to sustainability, is really changing how everybody works. In giving employees the tools to develop apps for their specific roles, Power Apps is helping the company design the engines that power the world’s most advanced jets. The British aerospace and defence company has embraced scalable low-code apps to build digital tools that are improving everything from productivity, rapid prototyping, R&D, and testing, to employee engagement and wellbeing.īy pulling intelligence from vast datasets, each employee is able develop apps to support all parts of the business. Digital transformation is at the heart of everything Rolls-Royce does.
