A specialised service offering
System Integration is the discipline of managing complexity and risk across infrastructure projects.
By aligning people, processes and technologies from the outset, it ensures systems function as a unified whole — improving safety, reducing rework, and enabling assets to perform as intended.


The System Integration Challenge
Infrastructure projects are becoming more complex as technology enables a more interconnected and sophisticated network. Delivering new infrastructure requires deep expertise across the entire spectrum of technical disciplines, as well as the collaboration and negotiation skills to work alongside a wide network of stakeholders.
You are confronted with a complex and multidimensional environment. The road to reach completion can be long!
Strong system engineering and integration skills will be vital to the successful delivery of tomorrow’s infrastructure. These skills are essential to completing complex projects on time, on budget and with the expected quality for a perfect client service
What is Systems Integration?
Systems Integration is a specialised service offering that starts with the end in mind to bring together the various components of an infrastructure project such as technology, processes, and stakeholders to create a more unified, seamless and interoperable whole.
Adapting to Complex and Rapidly Evolving Demands
Taking a holistic approach to transport systems is key to providing a robust, competitive and resilient solution — ensuring that systems function together, not just independently, and accounting for all present and future challenges.
As complexity in infrastructure increases — driven by new technologies, stakeholder interdependencies and legacy upgrades — SYSTRA’s integration capability enables clients to stay ahead of risk, avoid rework, and deliver systems that perform as intended.
We deliver outcomes that matter:
- Manage system complexity and reduce risk from day one
- Optimise System Engineering and integration
- Reduce carbon footprint
- Improve mobility experience
- Optimise capacity, performance and cost
- Improve reliability, safety and security

How can we integrate better, earlier, and with greater impact?
System integration is critical to managing complexity, reducing risk, and delivering infrastructure that performs — yet it’s often misunderstood or brought in too late.
Our State of System Integration 2025 report explores what’s working, what’s not, and where the biggest opportunities lie to improve how integration is delivered across projects.
Based on insights from professionals across the sector, it’s designed to spark an important conversation and support better outcomes.

“Systems Integration is part of our DNA at SYSTRA. We have forged a reputation as global leaders helping our clients to deliver incredible results on projects such as HS2 and Grand Paris. For our local clients, we offer the same global expertise with local knowledge. We work with our clients by providing unique perspectives, technical proficiency and a tailored approach to deliver results. Our goal is to be the go-to team anywhere in Australia and New Zealand when it comes to Systems Integration.”
Rob Scarbro, Director – Systems Integration

The SYSTRA Systems Approach
As new technologies emerge and systems become more sophisticated and interconnected, System integration ensures that, after assembly, the system fulfils initial expectations, within the defined time and budget.
A holistic approach that accounts for people, process and technology is required to address these challenges.
Cultivated through years of experience, SYSTRA’s expertise in systems have enabled us to develop a unique approach that is focussed purely on the end goal and the clients definition of success. This ensures we:
- Deliver optimal performance.
- Minimise efficiency loss.
- Enhance the value of the overall project lifecycle from the design and procurement phases to operation.
- Minimise and reduce risk.
With more than 1,000 international professionals, our global expertise in system integration is backed by a sophisticated system engineering framework, experienced project management office, and processes built on proven methodology and know-how.
This approach has been successfully implemented across many signature projects locally and internationally.

The Fast Track to a seamless, safer railway system
In this publication, we delve into the benefits and challenges that will come with interoperability, and focus on the critical role data, technology and people will play in ensuring the journey is as smooth as possible. We also explore a selection of compelling case studies, provide insight into some of the long-term opportunities interoperable rail networks will present, and offer practical guidance on the best way to make a common platform a reality.
Why we’re the Signature team
Effective integration brings people, process and technology together to form a single, high-performing system. At SYSTRA, we specialise in managing this complexity — aligning every component to reduce risk, improve outcomes and ensure infrastructure performs as intended. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Detailed knowledge of all elements of Systems and Operational Integration.
- Structured but adaptable outcome focussed approach developed across multiple international projects.
- Access to the best subject matter experts locally and internationally.
- Authorised Engineering Organisation for all elements of Systems Integration.
- Operations and Maintenance integration perspective from our shareholders RATP and SNCF.
