Across Europe, billions of Euros are being spent for upgrading rail infrastructure. National governments are investing in faster intercity trains, rail electrification and flexible commuter train concepts, with an objective to carry more rail passengers, on more trains, running more regularly, with on‑time arrival, at a lower cost. Siemens is a leader in engineering solutions for the rail industry, offering a wide range of systems and services for signaling, control and communication for main line, metro and light rail. The company is the first to provide digitalization in rail transport and to operate a special data analytics center, led by Siemens Mobility Data Services. Going beyond just rail hardware, Siemens uses data collected from 300+ sensors on each train and overlaying this with historical data with the key aim to predict when components might fail. Dubbed the “Internet of Trains,” this IoT-driven approach ensures greater uptime for train operators, fewer delays for passengers and more cost‑effective maintenance. For Siemens, the challenge is not the collection, but the storage, management and analytics of this huge variety of data for its 300+ sensors per train. Working internationally, the company must ensure the data is stored according to local laws via the most cost-effective means possible.

Financial institution customers expect innovative, personalized digital services that are available when and where they need them. This can be challenging for some of Celero’s credit union customers; compared to large banks, they are less likely to have the resources needed to build those services themselves. These credit unions may also find it difficult to deploy low-latency services to end users spread out across the vast Canadian landscape, often in small communities and rural areas that have traditionally been overlooked by large banks. Celero was looking to modernize its IT infrastructure to help credit unions of all sizes meet the demands of their members and stay ahead of the competition in a rapidly changing industry. The company wanted to begin its digital transformation initiative quickly, rather than spending years building a proof of concept. It also needed to balance short-term goals—integrating new cloud-optimized capabilities into its existing IT infrastructure without breaking legacy systems—with its long-term goal of preparing for a future industry landscape defined by microservices and cloud-native solutions. The company also views sustainability as a business imperative across the financial services industry. Moving workloads to Equinix and the cloud, with the end goal of retiring on-premises data centers that weren’t built using the latest sustainability innovations, is part of Celero’s long-term plan to reduce its own carbon footprint and that of its customers. The company wanted to work with partners and service providers that shared this commitment to sustainability.
