What and Why?
Eurail was experiencing the problems with their previous supplier in support, maintenance of the websites and in development of new features. Outstanding downtimes of the web applications leaded to the drops in sales.

They were looking for a reliable technical partner who could fulfill the existing gaps and who could act as a technical adviser and integrator in the long-term relations.
