Editorial

Dear readers

The SMA Annual Report was our company's last printed media, but everything comes to an end. We have decided to take the final step towards the complete digitalisation of our communications. We are keeping the visual identity, the usual structure and our three official languages of communication (EN, DE, FR), and are making our annual report available to you from a dedicated section of our website.

This year, our introductory article focuses on the implementation of medium-term capacity planning in line with the new European Union regulations. Stakeholders in this process, especially infrastructure managers, require methods and tools to ensure continuity, consistency and coherence between the different phases of TTR (Timetable Redesign for Smart Capacity Management) process, particularly the capacity strategy and the capacity model. SMA is already supporting various national and international players with these aspects. With our expertise, our ability to innovate and a holistic understanding of the capacity management process, reflecting of course the national and cross-border realities, we help to ensure a smooth transition and effective coordination.

Once again, we are pleased to present you with various activities and projects which have been active throughout the past year from our Consulting and Software divisions.

We hope that you enjoy reading our first 100% digitalised annual report!
