Formerly QR Limited before the government sold of Coal & Freight in 2010, QR is a government-owned railway operator in the state of Queensland, Australia’s second-largest and third-most populous state.
Prior to the sale QR had a single IT infrastructure for its passenger rail and freight rail organizations. The freight side of the business has been privatized and now QR is forced to move its system off of the freight datacenters into its own by the end of June.
Logica will now provide QR with a new IT framework and service management toolset based on BMC Software’s BMC’s service management product suite. Logica is also enhancing its own staff with members that have transport outsourcing experience.
Logica is a global IT and management consultancy company headquartered in Reading, United Kingdom. The company is planning to cut about 3 percent of its workforce, 1,300 jobs, this year spread across Benelux, the UK, and Sweden.
