DB Regio Bus has largely moved its IT to the cloud over the last four years. In doing so, it implemented a technological target set by the DB Group, which has been pursuing an active cloud policy since 2015. Supporting the IT managers from the regional bus organisations and convincing them to support the cloud project was a major challenge for the noventum consultants, who have been supporting the project since 2017.
"Cloud is a corporate goal"
The DB Bus organisation is part of DB Regio, a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG. With the cloud migration, DB Regio is following a requirement of DB Systel GmbH. Its Managing Director Operations, Gerald Hofer, had already issued the slogan in 2017: "Cloud is a group goal". However, the multi-layered group structure of Deutsche Bahn AG means that many players are allowed to go their own way, especially in the bus segment, and in some cases they do. An essential part of a successful project was therefore to dispel reservations.
Since December 2017, cloud consultants from noventum consulting have been working centrally on the cloud migration of DB Regio Bus. In the nc360° interview, Rainer Pielnik and Stephan Hermann report on their experiences.
