A global leader in the rail transportation sector, Alstom specializes in green and smarter mobility solutions.
The organization is committed to enabling a low-carbon future through innovative and sustainable rail systems. To meet growing demands and lead the future of mobility, Alstom embarked on a strategic transformation — one that would unify its operations and embed data at the core of decision-making.
Headquartered in France, Alstom operates across 65 countries with more than 80,000 employees.
Despite its global footprint, Alstom’s divisions were operating with disjointed tools and legacy systems that limited visibility and hindered operational efficiency. This fragmented data landscape led to communication bottlenecks. The organization’s legacy systems struggled to keep up with the demands of modern rail transportation, causing delays in integrating applications leading to higher costs, and slower decision-making.
As customer expectations evolved and operations grew more complex, it became critical for Alstom to modernize its data ecosystem, reduce redundancies, and ensure consistent service quality across its global network.
Alstom partnered with TCS to implement a Data Integration Backbone (DIB) — a strategic initiative to unify its divisions, streamline operations, and foster a data-driven culture.
TCS designed an end-to-end transformation leveraging Boomi’s Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) to enable seamless integration between on-premise and cloud environments.
Key elements of the solution included:
TCS collaborated closely with key business units to align the solution with real-world needs, ensuring that the new backbone delivered a scalable and sustainable framework for future growth.
