Rail. Mobility. Ports. Control rooms.

Microsoft cloud for transport operators — rail, mobility, ports, and airports — designed around safety-case collaboration, control-room operational reality, and the long-cycle programme delivery that the sector runs on.

Why transport is different

Transport is a safety industry that happens to run on technology. Before a single system goes live it has to sit comfortably inside a safety case — the formal, regulated argument that the railway, the port, or the airport is safe to operate — and that case predates the cloud by decades. Change is not something you ship on a Friday; it is something you justify, evidence, and sign off through a formal, regulated safety regime overseen by the national rail safety authority.

The estate itself is unusually varied. A single operator runs head-office knowledge work, a round-the-clock control room where an operator cannot afford a distraction, depot and trackside teams working in tunnels and yards with patchy signal, and signalling networks that must never be put at risk by an office-IT decision. Each environment has its own tempo, its own devices, and its own tolerance for change.

We design the corporate estate, the field-worker patterns, and the control-room collaboration as three connected but distinct workloads — modern where it can be, deliberately conservative where the safety case demands it, and with a clear line between the two that an auditor can follow.

What we deliver

Operator-grade Modern Workplace

  • Tap-and-go shared devices for shift-based staff
  • Teams Phone integration with depot and station radio
  • Field-worker patterns for engineering, P-Way, station ops

Control-room collaboration

  • Secure collaboration patterns aligned to safety-case constraints
  • Information governance for incident logs and SHE bulletins
  • Power Platform delivery for shift handover and permits

Sentry XDR for safety-cased estates

  • Sector-aware SOC; OT-bridge tooling where signalling and ops converge
  • IR rehearsed against the operational and safety scenarios that matter to your network

InterReality Labs — XR for depots, trackside, and control rooms

  • Immersive Unity simulators for high-risk engineering and operational procedures — staff rehearse before they go trackside or on plant
  • Remote Assist connecting scarce specialists to depot, trackside, and station crews in real time
  • Spatial overlays of asset and sensor data onto rolling stock and infrastructure; ARMR rugged hardware for field conditions

Industry & Advisory — assurance for long-cycle programmes

  • Design-authority and programme assurance across multi-year delivery
  • Security-architecture review where corporate, OT, and signalling meet
  • Independent assurance held apart from the teams that deliver

UK rail operator · Full-scale rail simulator

A full-scale rail simulator — crews rehearse before they're trackside.

We delivered a full-scale rail simulator for a UK rail operator — a 1:1 environment fused with our Mixed Reality technology, so crews can rehearse procedures and scenarios at true scale before they're on real rolling stock or trackside. High-risk, high-cost situations become something teams can practise to competence — safely, and as often as they need.
