Case Study: Deutsche Bahn achieves reduced time-to-market and improved software quality with CAST AIP

Reduces Application Time-To-Market While Improving Overall Quality

Deutsche Bahn AG, a global leader in mobility and logistics, relies on a complex, 24/7 IT landscape to support ticketing, timetabling, logistics, maintenance and business management for billions of journeys and millions of tons of freight. Rapidly changing market conditions and dozens of business‑critical applications—supporting over 67,000 internal users—made frequent, short‑term adaptations necessary and time‑to‑market a critical competitive challenge while preserving availability and performance.

To address this, DB Systel deployed the CAST Application Intelligence Platform (AIP) to industrialize development by building quality in early, automating extensive code reviews, and enforcing architecture and best‑practice compliance across distributed teams. The outcome was faster delivery and reduced time‑to‑market, improved developer productivity and flexibility, higher system uptime and lower maintenance costs, and clearer, fact‑based management and supplier control.
