Denmark's
largest railway operator extends its relationship with Cognizant
for its ongoing strategy to use digital technologies to improve
customer experience on its public transportation systems
TEANECK, N.J., March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant
(Nasdaq: CTSH) today announced that it has been selected by
DSB, Denmark's state railway
operator, as the sole provider of offshore IT consulting services
to accelerate, scale and further improve its ability to deliver
against DSB's digital strategy.
The multi-year agreement is aimed at extending DSB's data
analytics, IoT and software development capabilities to better
manage and plan availability of trains, have a better understanding
of peak demand for services, gain insights into passenger
sentiments, and enable predictive maintenance of its fleet.
As a result, the organization is anticipated to become a
more data-driven and sustainable business, both operationally and
in terms of its customers through better connectivity and improved,
IoT-enabled and sensorized assets. DSB is expected to be able to
accelerate and scale its digital services to improve the customer
experience on its public transportation systems.
"We have seen a shift in transportation patterns following
pandemic lockdown, as well as from the continuous market demand
towards more sustainable ways of transportation, while at the same
time undertaking significant investments into electrification of
the train fleet," said Jesper Welander, commercial IT
director, DSB. "Having already transitioned into an agile software
development paradigm, we will focus on building up capabilities to
deliver digital products – in-house as well as with Cognizant."
"As part of the continued collaboration between Cognizant and
DSB, we will draw on our vast experience in sustainable
transportation by harnessing the power of data, analytics and
engineering with the goal of helping DBS improve the experience for
passengers and deliver better business outcomes," said Thomas
Djursø, managing director, Cognizant, Denmark. "Since 2016, Cognizant has been
building a strong relationship with DSB, and over the past two
years, we have further developed a strong, company-wide engagement
– both in the business and within the IT organisation."
Cognizant's transportation and logistics team helps
customers fulfill the primary needs of people and industries to
move materials and resources from supply to demand. The
industry has constantly re-invented itself over the years as new
ideas, conveyances and technology have become available. Today, it
is at crossroads and requires a quantum jump in the way goods and
merchandises are transported from source to consumption,
transcending traditional logistics to the new era of digital
logistics.
