Data Sharing Platform Across Organizational Boundaries
Client type
National rail infrastructure ecosystem involving multiple organisations (operators, infrastructure managers, maintainers).
Challenge
Siloed structures and complex interdependencies made it difficult to share data reliably, build a common operational picture, and respond effectively to shared challenges.
What we did
- Introduced a shared data model, interfaces, and access controls for secure inter‑org data sharing
- Connected operational data on traffic flow, maintenance activities, and infrastructure disruptions
- Published a common operational picture and APIs that each stakeholder could consume in their own tools
- Combined technical enablement with collaboration practices so information could be used in daily operations
Results
- Faster, coordinated responses to disruptions and shared challenges
- Value created across the ecosystem that no single actor could realise alone
- A repeatable blueprint: technical platform + collaborative structures for connected ways of working
