PS Technology (PST) has expanded its services to include a wide range of short-term abilities to help railroads meet the changing business landscape.

“Across the board, this is something that railroads are very excited about.”, says PST CEO Rushi Patel. “We have both Class I and Short Line railroads contracting services with us to help meet their technology needs. A lot of it centers around making up for technical debt and assistance with moving to cloud-based platforms.”

Scrum-as-a-Service

PST is seeing the most interest in its new Scrum-as-a-Service offering which is being used to fast-track change initiatives and service enhancements. “In spite of our deep understanding of railroad processes and needs, our scrum engagements have some of the lowest rates in the field.”, comments Patel. “We’ve got skin in the game for these services. It’s a fixed price based on story-points that we and customers agree to, so there is no scope creep and no ‘surprise’ development costs.”

With more railroads seeking to transfer on-prem IT to the cloud, a majority of PST’s current engagements include variations of data lake development and new technology and analytics enablement via APIs. Rushi adds, “Many railroads have been deferring technology upgrades, but have an immediate need to squeeze more juice out of what they have. So, PST is helping them manage that obsolescence and tech debt while simultaneously preparing them for new technology adoption.”
