Case Study: Global Railway Network Service Provider strengthens signalling capabilities with Expleo’s engineering services centre

A signalling engineering services centre to power Germany’s Rail 2.0 revolution

The customer, a global railway network service provider, faced challenges with talent retention and knowledge management for its signalling projects as part of Germany's Rail 2.0 initiative. Relying on numerous individual contractors created a high risk of knowledge loss and significant training overhead. To address this, they partnered with Expleo to establish a more stable and scalable engineering resource.

Expleo created a dedicated engineering service center to act as a single point of contact for the client. This solution provided systems, software, and test engineering, which allowed for knowledge retention within the team, reduced key-person risk, and offered greater flexibility in scaling human resources. For the client, Expleo's implementation resulted in a more agile and skilled workforce, a reduction in organizational risk through the use of fixed-price work packages, and ensured the long-term development of crucial railway expertise.
