Fujitsu Services, one of Europe's biggest IT services companies, has secured a contract renewal with ATOC, the Association of Train Operating Companies, to continue running and maintaining RJIS – the Rail Journey Information Service.

RJIS provides the timetables, fares, route planning, ticketing and transaction services needed to buy rail tickets and complete travel enquiry requests.

This five year, £13 million deal, will see Fujitsu refresh and update the hardware and applications technology used by RJIS.

Steve Howes, managing director of Rail Settlement Plan (RSP) for ATOC, commented, "This renewal reflects the ongoing commitment from both parties to this long–running and successful project.”

Nick Chisnall, head of rail business Fujitsu Services, said, "We are pleased to see this partnership continue to 2013."
