SBB, Switzerland's Biggest Travel and Transport Company, Selects Intergraph(R)
Technology to Manage Rail Assets

Intergraph G/Technology will serve as foundation for the largest geographic
information system (GIS) in the country

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- SBB will implement Intergraph(R)
next-generation infrastructure management technology to geospatially capture
and manage assets for the Swiss railway, which supports the transport of 9,000
trains per day and 306 million passengers a year. With assets including more
than 3,000 kilometers of rail, 5,200 buildings and 28,000 employees - just to
name a few - the project will result in the largest geographic information
system (GIS) in the country.

Keeping track of and up-to-date on every asset that makes up such an extensive
transportation network is a challenging proposition, according to SBB. The
availability of current data that enables users to access key information at
the right time, in the right form and through the appropriate medium is
becoming increasingly crucial for the operation of the railway.

SBB sought a solution built on an open architecture that would enable the
Swiss railway to comply with industry standards, easily integrate data with
its Oracle platform and allow for simple access to geographic information
across the enterprise. After evaluating multiple solutions, SBB determined
Intergraph G/Technology was best suited to meet its requirements.

Intergraph G/Technology supports universal standards such as the Open
Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard. The technology leverages the power of
Oracle's database capabilities, and geographic data from the system can be
seamlessly utilized across a wide variety of applications for flexible access
to spatial information. G/Technology will be used by SBB to build an inventory
for all spatial and property-related assets concerning the construction,
planning, maintenance, renovation and operation of the Swiss rail
infrastructure.

"Especially among today's evolving economic, environmental and political
climate, transportation organizations require systems that keep their
infrastructure safe, secure, efficient and up-to-date," said John Graham,
president of Security, Government & Infrastructure at Intergraph. "A
comprehensive, spatially-enabled infrastructure management system ensures that
asset data will be properly stored, maintained and leveraged for maximum
operational performance and improved service to passengers."
