Cloud competence in public transport | PROTOS Technology – The Cloud Experts

Digitalization in public transport is progressing – not in revolutionary leaps, but in concrete, well-planned stages. Many companies in the public transport-related environment are already developing smart software solutions for passenger information, deployment planning, ticketing or communication in transport associations. However, the technological basis of these applications determines how quickly and economically they can be developed further – and this is where the public cloud plays an increasingly central role.

But the path to the cloud is complex. And this is exactly where our work at PROTOS Technologie GmbH comes in: As architects, accelerators and optimizers.

Why technical excellence in the cloud becomes a business opportunity

The transition to cloud-based infrastructure is not an end in itself. It becomes a real lever when it enables new business models, faster time to market and sustainable operational efficiency. This creates clear opportunities for digitalization service providers in public transport:

• Scalable solutions without local dependencies
• Seamless integration into composite structures
• Flexible rollout for transport companies of different sizes
• Real-time capable systems with minimal latency – in an edge site optimized infrastructure

All of this can only be achieved if the technical architecture supports the business ambitions. And this is exactly where the bottleneck often lies: Old structures slow down new ideas.

Cloud expertise that works – and connects

We at PROTOS Technologie GmbH do not see ourselves as a pure migration service provider. Our aim is to work together with partners from software development and digitalization to strategically design and modernize the cloud infrastructure in public transport – and thus lay the foundation for robust, economical and sustainable solutions.

Our teams provide advice and support in the following areas, among others:

• Architectural consulting: From selecting the appropriate cloud models (public, hybrid, multi-cloud) to developing service-oriented architectures

• Implementation & Operations: Automation, scaling, monitoring and security – adapted to the special requirements of public transport, in particular the ongoing need for interfaces.

• Cost optimization & performance tuning: We show how cloud resources can be used efficiently and billing models can be designed intelligently

• Refactoring & modernization: Away from the monolith towards a flexible, modular application – tailored to the roadmaps of our partner companies

What does that mean specifically for your projects?

Imagine developing an innovative platform for deployment planning in bus transport. The first pilot customer is enthusiastic – but the rollout to a larger transport network is stalling:

• The customer's infrastructure is not prepared.
• The requirements for availability and scaling are increasing.
• Operating costs are growing – and your business model is being strained.

Partnership as the key to real impact in public transport

Our vision at PROTOS: A strong digital public transport needs strong alliances.
We believe that digitalization can only be achieved sustainably if providers of public transport-related software solutions and cloud specialists Work hand in hand – not in competitive thinking, but in complementary solidarity.

• She bring the industry solution, the know-how for passenger flows, ticket systems or operating logic.
• We bring the technical foundation, the security, the monitoring, the cloud-native infrastructure.

Together we can ensure that digital innovations do not remain on the whiteboard, but rather fast, safe and economical in public transport operations arrive – scalable, highly available and future-proof.

Let's talk. Not about competition, but about cooperation.

If you, as a provider of smart public transport solutions, want to make your systems fit for cloud operation – or if you want to think cloud-native: Let us accompany your technical implementation. Because in a partnership in which expertise complements each other, real added value is created – for transport companies, for passengers, and also for you.
