Fujitsu is an expert at supporting the rail industry. We designed, built, and now operate and manage the Rail Journey Information Service (RJIS): an application solution that pulls together information from around the rail industry on train timetables, fares and routes. Our technological skill and insight into the customer experience has made us a market leader in rail retail and led to the creation of STAR: a package of services forming a comprehensive ticket retailing solution designed for UK train operators and installed in over 600 stations in the UK. To date 8 of the train operators use STAR as their preferred ticket retailing solution. Fujitsu is also at the forefront of designing and delivering smart ticketing solutions and has delivered more than 700 million transport smartcards to the UK public Combined with this industry insight are our broader IT solutions and capability. Working with our customers we aim to improve operational efficiency, strive for excellence in the customer experience, and work to reduce the total cost of IT.
Cloud computing is evolving fast. Today, organisations understand that they can use the model to cut costs, increase efficiency and be more responsive to changing market demands. They also know that the Cloud, with a range of ‘public’ and ‘private’ solutions available, can offer the security and information assurance to meet a range of needs.
In this piece, Fujitsu UK’s Head of Rail, Nick Chisnall, argues that to boost the efficiency of UK railways in line with the McNulty report’s recommendations, the industry needs to embrace open, component-based systems that give train operators the flexibility to offer revenue-boosting retail innovations for customers as well as a raft of other compelling cost and efficiency benefits.
Security is often considered to be the Achilles heel of Cloud Computing. At Fujitsu, where we operate a unique ‘private’ Cloud model from our own UK facilities, we think differently. Our belief is that security, if approached correctly, could in fact turn out to be the catalyst for widespread Cloud procurement.
All organisations have applications that their users cherish. But to reap the full benefits of application outsourcing and cloud computing, they have to let them go.
