Herzog's New Era in Rail Communications
Herzog, a prominent player in railroad construction, maintenance, and operations across North America, has recently taken a significant step forward in enhancing its rail communication systems. The company has completed another successful migration to Webex by Cisco, partnering with C1, a global frontrunner in technology solutions designed to deliver tangible outcomes.
Since starting their collaboration with C1, Herzog has relied heavily on the engineering expertise and support from C1 to modernize its communications infrastructure. This migration marks a crucial achievement in the long-standing relationship between Herzog and C1, emphasizing their mutual commitment to operational excellence. As Tyler Steele, Systems Administrator at Herzog, succinctly puts it, "C1 understands how we work—and they deliver every time." This latest migration was noted for its seamless execution, with no support calls needed on the go-live day.
The need for effective communication tools is particularly vital for Herzog as they manage and maintain 17 transit properties scattered across North America. By partnering with C1, Herzog transitioned from a complicated on-premises environment to a more streamlined Webex Cloud Communications system through C1's Total Care services. This shift has resulted in a fully integrated, cloud-based communications system that not only simplifies management but also boosts reliability and allows for real-time collaboration among field crews, administrators, and project partners.
Elliot Olschwang, Chief Services Officer at C1, highlighted the synergy between Herzog's drive for innovation and the core mission of C1, stating, "Supporting their evolution from legacy systems to modern, cloud-based communications across multiple projects demonstrates the strength of our partnership." Together, they are building robust technological foundations that facilitate impactful business results.
As Herzog continues to grow and navigate future projects, the recent advances in their communication capabilities position them for rapid scalability while maintaining the high-performance infrastructure their brand is known for. Since its inception in 1969, Herzog has established itself as an industry leader in the railroad sector, employing over 2,800 individuals across North America and providing services that include complex rail infrastructure construction and comprehensive maintenance operations for transit properties.
C1, on the other hand, is committed to designing and delivering technology solutions that prioritize collaboration, security, and infrastructure. Their approach merges leading partner platforms with advisory, professional, and managed services to make modernization practical and secure.
In conclusion, Herzog's advancements in rail communications not only demonstrate their commitment to modernization but also highlight the importance of strategic partnerships in achieving operational excellence. As the rail industry continues to evolve, Herzog and C1 are well-equipped to adapt and lead the way towards a more connected and efficient future in rail communications.
