Case study

Bay Area Rapid Transit

If any part of BART’s transit system fails on a weekday, 400,000 San Francisco Bay Area passengers’ plans are in peril. These passengers expect nothing less than 100-percent on-time performance every day. BART’s maintenance reliability information system is mission-critical, and is used by supervisors and engineers to monitor the status of cars in 44 stations and over 100 miles of track in four counties. However, the system wasn't mobile, while most of BART’s workforce is. Mobile system management was needed to provide better response to maintenance issues and to improve customer service.

IBM Business Partner Synchrony Systems leveraged Bluemix to speed provisioning, development, and publishing of a pilot maintenance application. Synchrony leveraged Bluemix’s Cloud Integration service, which allows developers to connect their apps with a variety of on-premises and cloud-based resources without leaving the Bluemix environment. Bluemix users who use other IBM cloud integration solutions, such as Cast Iron, can even leverage their existing orchestrations as part of their application development efforts.

Synchrony Systems helped reduce provisioning and development time by over 90 percent, enabling a pilot mobile app to be delivered in just 15 days, and reduced the time needed to take new features live from 3 months to 45 seconds.
