Case Study:

Windows Phone 7 for National Rail

Every day, UK National Rail Enquiries serves 1.3 million passenger enquiries. National Rail intends to provide users with an intuitive interface that makes their travel life easier.

With a Windows Phone 7 application, travellers will be able to plan trips in advance, check live station departures and receive real-time notifications of service disruption or delays to their journey.

The National Rail application is an example of how Avanade can deliver mobile solutions for enterprise customers. The company partnered with National Rail on this request to expand and improve how passengers can stay up to date in their rail schedules. Avanade leveraged its global creative, Silverlight, Expression Blend expertise to complete this application in a few short weeks.

The Train Travel application is just one step in building momentum in the mobile industry, and will be part of a set of showcase applications being released on the Windows Phone 7 operating system.

For more on this and other real life examples of Avanade’s customer success, visit the company’s website.
