Salesforce has expanded its partnership with Ferrovial and NTT DATA to develop "the next generation of sustainable infrastructure technology."
In doing so, the CRM leader strives to digitize more operation and management processes in the development of various infrastructures. These include roads, railways, and electrical distribution networks.
Salesforce’s Customer 360 platform may also introduce data analytics, information modeling, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to such projects and enable new workflows.
Arsenio Otero, Global Sales COO at Salesforce, expressed his enthusiasm for the expanded partnership: "Together with Ferrovial and NTT DATA, we are excited to improve the productivity of the whole infrastructure ecosystem.
We will be able to provide an integrated view of the infrastructure asset, the customer, third parties, and employees involved in the project and digitize operations across all the development stages.
The transport sector produces roughly one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the UN.
Ferrovial is working on ways to reduce these emissions by creating user-focused solutions, prolonging the life of assets, and enhancing daily operations.
Meanwhile, the technology consultancy and center of excellence (CoE), NTT DATA, will develop innovations for international application and commercialization.
Between them, the partners will look for ways to apply this technology to airports and other arenas requiring infrastructure management.
Dimitris Bountolos, General Director of Systems and Innovation at Ferrovial, explains the benefits and importance of this partnership: "The infrastructures of the future must provide clear value in improving the quality of life of citizens, promoting efficiency, innovation, and sustainability.
