T-Systems to provide ticket sale system for Pendolino trains

Deutsche Telekom's T-Systems Polska has signed a PLN 8 million contract with PKP Intercity for building a new ticket sale support (RMS) system that will service the sale of Pendolino train tickets. Operating on short deadlines, the new system should be implemented in Q4 of this year. Meanwhile, Q2 2015 will see RMS implementation for the remaining PKP Intercity train connections. ISBnews reported that the project is being completed in concert with PKP Informatyka. "The public sector is putting greater emphasis on digital modernization and more effective IT system implementation. Solutions already present in western countries are being implemented in Poland as well. The RMS system will simplify the ticket sale process considerably and will streamline the companies revenue inflow. ... Travelers will be able to take advantage of the system by being able to choose less crowded connections or purchase cheaper tickets in advance," said T-Systems Polska president Maciej Plebański. PKP Intercity will be able to analyze, forecast and plan their operations with improved efficiency. Along with T-Mobile and GTS, T-Systems Polska is one of three companies belonging to the Deutsche Telekom Group that operate on the Polish market.
