DXC at Rail LIVE 2026
DXC was proud to be a Digital Innovation Headline Partner
Thank you for joining DXC at Rail Live 2026 to explore how technology can help rail organisations modernise critical systems, strengthen operational resilience and accelerate digital transformation with confidence.
As DXC continues to grow its presence across the rail industry, Rail Live is a valuable opportunity for us to listen, learn, build new partnerships and demonstrate how digital innovation can deliver meaningful outcomes in complex transport environments.
The event participants met our team to discuss their organisation’s priorities, explore practical demos and see how DXC can help move rail transformation from ambition to measurable progress.
Whether you are focused on modernising legacy systems, improving operational performance, strengthening resilience or exploring the practical role of AI, our team was ready to talk.
As Digital Innovations Headline Sponsor, DXC showcased how AI, data, engineering, cyber, cloud, application modernisation and enterprise platforms can support the rail sector’s most important priorities — from operational resilience and better decision-making to safer, more efficient services.
