Public transportation faces major challenges: rising ridership, complex infrastructure, and the pressure to digitize. PROTOS Technologie helps transit agencies overcome these challenges with modern cloud solutions.

A future-proof IT infrastructure for public transportation is not defined by a single new system or tool. It consists of an interconnected, holistically designed network of systems in which existing applications are harmonized, new technologies are integrated, and all relevant operational areas are orchestrated—from planning and execution to analysis and further development.
Dispatch systems, maintenance facilities, passenger apps, billing systems, and external partners must not only communicate with one another but also be able to learn, grow, and adapt together. Only in this way can IT in public transit become a true driver of innovation—rather than a hindrance to daily operations.

For years, PROTOS Technologie GmbH has been supporting transportation companies and their IT service providers in their journey toward high-performance, secure, and future-proof IT infrastructures. As a technical enabler, we create cloud environments that modernize individual system landscapes cost-effectively, scale flexibly, and simultaneously meet the highest standards for operational security and data protection.
Our approach is holistic: We analyze existing systems and operational processes, advise on modernization options, develop customized interfaces and microservices, orchestrate new and existing applications, and guide clients toward secure operations.
Our goal: public transportation IT infrastructures that not only work today but also shape the future—for transportation companies, their partners, and above all for the people who rely on public transportation every day.
Using public cloud technologies and cloud-native principles, we integrate existing solutions and further develop them into service-oriented architectures. Our projects demonstrate that when systems communicate with one another, digital solutions suddenly become scalable, secure, and cost-effective.

Our approach is holistic: We analyze existing systems with a deep understanding of business processes, advise on modernization options, develop customized interfaces and microservices, orchestrate both new and existing applications, and guide clients toward secure operations.
Years of expertise in IT infrastructure for transportation companies and their service providers.
The highest standards for operational security and data protection—built in from the very beginning.
We analyze existing systems with a thorough understanding of operational processes—as the foundation for any modernization.
Development of interfaces and microservices tailored to specific needs for established IT environments.
