Railway business in the international freight, passenger and infrastructure markets is guided by a need for greater cooperation in an evolving market. More railway operators are increasingly competing and collaborating with each other, and new processes are being established by working with international infrastructure managers.

Hit Rail believes that advancing the standardisation and digitalisation of business processes is the best possible means of achieving this cooperation. Secure and efficient cloud IT services and TCP/IP data communications are essential requirements to realising this goal.

Hit Rail is working with the main European railway bodies to implement their vision, with specific solutions that provide a new landscape of secure and flexible sector collaboration. The greater goal is enabling the railways to achieve a more significant and sustainable share of the European mobility and transportation markets.

Hit Rail’s strategy is to continue expanding its cloud IT services and increasing its synergy with the secure Hermes VPN. Hit Rail delivers this in partnership with stakeholders including customers, railway bodies, business partners and other interested parties in each of the key railway markets - passengers, freight and infrastructure.

This synergy is used collaboratively across Europe’s railway network, thereby helping to reduce costs and complexity. Hit Rail’s unique offer is flexible, efficient, safe and secure, and is at the vanguard of the latest generation of network and cloud technologies.

Hit Rail also builds business alliances across major railway and transport-related services, organisations and institutions. These collaborations benefit the wider rail community via Hit Rail’s unique position and capabilities in the European railway market.
