Digitalization Optimizes Systems Integration of Rail Services

As railways become more complex, digitalization becomes central to delivering safe and reliable services. Systems integration (SI) plays a central role in this process—to manage parallel workstreams, link new systems together and link new systems to existing systems.

Digitalization can bring the full capabilities of SI to any major rail project, creating a more efficient and effective path to project delivery—with the expected outcomes for rail owners, operators and passengers—thus saving money and time.

Introducing digitalization upfront to manage rail systems throughout their lifecycle will enable a comprehensive view of project requirements and progress for all stakeholders while building in adaptability for adjustments—essential to any infrastructure project seeking to support a better quality of life for people through convenient and inclusive access and reliable journeys.
