DAE Capital is a valued customer for Version 1 and as their trusted IT partner, Version 1 worked with DAE Capital and other partners to complete a large and successful program to migrate their entire core business and financial systems to the cloud from their on-premise data centre, assisting DAE Capital into becoming a ‘Cloud First’ company. To find out more about this project, the case study can be found here.

Version 1 is now proud to announce a joint initiative between DAE Capital and the Version 1 Innovation Labs, in which the Innovation Labs will investigate new ways of visualising and exploring their data in a more interactive manner using disruptive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR).

The Innovation Labs have already begun to develop some Proof of Value (PoV) experiences for this initiative, using an Oculus Quest for VR and an Android device for AR. The Innovation Labs are excited at the endless possibilities these cutting-edge technologies bring and hope to develop similar experiences using Microsoft Hololens (MR) in the near future. The partnership between Version 1 Innovation Labs and DAE Capital further reinforces the company’s core value of Innovation, with the Innovation Labs aiming to prove the business uses cases for AR/VR/MR within the aircraft leasing industry.
