Cubic Transportation Systems and partner Sqills
to deliver ticketing system upgrades for Ireland’s national railway
network
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic
Transportation Systems (CTS) business division was awarded a
contract worth more than $11 million to provide Iarnród Éireann
Irish Rail with ongoing enhancements to its ticketing system. As
part of the contract, Cubic’s partner and industry-leading
ticketing SaaS provider Sqills, has started the migration of its
booking, reservation and revenue management software, S3 Passenger
from on premise hosting to Software as a Service (SaaS) mode.
Sqills was contracted by Cubic in 2014 to provide its S3 Passenger
system as a component of the Customer First solution provided by
Cubic to Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail.
Cubic and Sqills’ combined capabilities deliver a modernized
solution for Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail’s fully integrated
ticketing management and distribution system. Driving the
transformation is Sqills’ S3 Passenger sales and distribution
solution, providing both open and closed ticketing for the rail
industry. Cubic selected Sqills’ solution because of its innovative
nature, off-the-shelf availability and alignment with Irish Rail’s
objectives.
The transition of Sqills’ S3 Passenger to SaaS mode allows
Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail to bring new product features faster to
market and benefit from a broader range of the technical and
functional improvements which have been developed by Sqills over
the past years.
“By adopting an ongoing upgrade path, Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail
embraces improvements to their investment throughout the contract
life cycle. This will ensure that the system they have at the end
of the contract is the most up-to-date and modernized version,”
said Jonathan Williams, business development director, Cubic
Transportation Systems.
“This extension strengthens the relationship between Iarnród
Éireann Irish Rail, Cubic Transportation Systems and Sqills as we
continue to improve and build capabilities to meet new and emerging
customer demands into the future,” said Gerry Culligan, commercial
director of Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail. “The enhanced hosting and
service specification includes ongoing functional updates to the
core S3 Passenger system, accommodates future legislative and
regulatory changes and ensures that the core capability continues
to reflect industry best practice.”
“S3 Passenger in SaaS mode allows all users to benefit from the
latest available product features and applied technologies,” said
Alexander Mul, co-founder of Sqills. “Not just now but also in the
years to come as Sqills will continue to invest in value added
product features and applied technologies in response to changing
industry and traveler needs, security standards and growing
passenger volumes.”
