IT support for rail operations where coordination matters
Rail businesses need dependable systems across sites, teams, suppliers and time zones. Fortress brings practical experience of integration, migration and operational support in rail and engineering environments.
Support for infrastructure that spans sites and borders
The sector experience described here includes Zaffar Mir’s technical work in previous roles. We agree responsibility for enterprise IT and infrastructure separately from signalling, train control and other safety-critical systems, which require the appropriate specialist owners.
Fortress is led by a technical specialist with rail-sector experience supporting infrastructure integration during mergers and acquisitions across Europe and APAC. That work involved bringing sites, systems and teams into a clearer, more consistent technical operating model.
For rail and engineering businesses, that translates into a practical approach to connectivity, migration, secure access, disaster recovery and documentation.
Where we can help
- Multi-site infrastructure, network and connectivity planning.
- Migration and integration projects with clear technical ownership.
- Microsoft 365, device management and secure user access.
- Backup, recovery and resilience planning for important systems.
Plan, test and hand over without losing control of the detail
