An actionable IT strategy for Nederlandse Spoorwegen
Nederlandse Spoorwegen NV (NS) is the largest railway company in the Netherlands. On average, NS transports 1.1 million passengers a day. The mobility market is changing rapidly, in terms of customer behavior, new entrants and diversification of customer channels. NS is therefore transforming from a train company to a mobility provider, with rail transport being part of their offerings. To make this transformation possible, a versatile organization in terms of IT and human resources is essential.
