The event took place at the National Railway Museum in Pietrarsa, Italy, where SAP and Trenitalia displayed technology that is shaping of the future of digital transportation. "Trenitalia is committed to a process of continuous innovation of services and practices," said Barbara Morgante, CEO, Trenitalia. "We strive to provide our customers with an enhanced travel experience by investing in high-tech solutions that enable a more efficient, sustainable and fast journey.

The railway event was held the day after SAP announced multiyear spending plans to invest €2 billion in its IoT business through 2020. Improving Reliability and Reducing Costs of Operation "Being able to anticipate events and maintenance operations will enable our company to reduce errors, make processes more efficient and also deliver better sevices with continuously improving quality standards," said Danilo Gismondi, CIO, Trenitalia.
