Case Study: Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad modernizes core operations with CTG's Agile application development

CTG Accelerates Agile Redevelopment of IHB's Core Application

The Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad (IHB) faced significant challenges with its 31-year-old core operating application, CARS, which was becoming difficult to maintain. To modernize its IT infrastructure and enhance customer experiences, IHB needed to complete a stalled redevelopment project for a new Java-based application. They engaged CTG to help accelerate this agile application development initiative.

CTG performed a comprehensive audit and managed a three-phased approach using their Agile framework and Scrum Team as a Service delivery model. They delivered the new CARS 2.0 application in under six months, achieving an "A" technical quality rating. The solution, built on IHB's existing codebase, seamlessly incorporated new insights and provided a foundation for future enhancements, allowing IHB to improve operations and offer customers a new portal for system updates.
