Flytoget Deploys Red Hat JBoss Fuse and the 3scale API Management Technology to Further Its Digital Ambitions
Flytoget opens new possibilities for integration and generating new
business opportunities with IT infrastructure overhaul
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that Norwegian airport express train operator
Flytoget has deployed Red Hat's lightweight, flexible integration
platform, JBoss Fuse, and API management technology developed by 3scale,
acquired by Red Hat in June 2016, as part of an initiative to digitise
and automate the company's key value chain.
Flytoget, which operates the airport express between Oslo Airport and
the city center, is modernizing its IT infrastructure to help develop
its competitive advantage in order to increase the attractiveness of
public transport. As part of this modernization effort, the company is
moving from on-premise servers to a cloud-based approach, and adopting
DevOps practices to help the company's IT team offer its customers new
features and services.
Digitizing and automating the value network across business lines and
beyond traditional enterprise boundaries is an important objective for
Flytoget toward the realization of its business vision and strategy for
the future.
By establishing a modern and elastic integration infrastructure using
JBoss Fuse and API management technology developed by 3scale, Flytoget
is able to build smarter services designed to help the company remain
competitive. The platform can be used to integrate with partners, both
internal and external, and to establish a network of partners empowering
smarter, more integrated, consumer-facing transportation services. The
integration infrastructure is also expected to help the company develop
internal services offerings, as well as serve Flytoget’s own mobile
solutions.
This project is in line with Flytoget’s goal to use standard solutions
as often as possible, in an ongoing effort for digital transformation,
enabling a more agile enterprise, infrastructure to move to the cloud,
and an IT department focused on DevOps.
The integration infrastructure based on JBoss Fuse and the API
management technology from 3scale was implemented and supplied by
Greenbird Integration Technology AS.

“We’re happy to play an important role in
Flytoget’s modernization initiative. Flytoget is a great example of how
traditional businesses can create new business opportunities through the
modernization of processes infrastructure.”
Bjørn Hole, head of innovation and IT architecture, Flytoget
“The
platform based on Red Hat JBoss Fuse and the API management technology
from 3scale gives us the ability to address collaboration opportunities
through a proxy, which enables us to set the very specific and sometimes
narrow rules for API access that we require. It also helps us scale
back-end operations easily for when we need to meet peaks in demand. We
are focused on what we want to achieve, so we do not spend unnecessary
time on doing things that are not value-driven. Every project we
initiate should create business value.”
