Nomad Digital offers a broad portfolio of applications and ICT solutions to train operators that both enhances the passenger experience, while improving the operational efficiency, reliability and availability of their fleets.

Alstom and Nomad share a vision to make the "digital train" a reality, and Alstom’s heritage and pedigree in train manufacturing enables Nomad to accelerate the delivery of that vision. Nomad brings complementary leading edge products and solutions, and with a strong global customer footprint, will help accelerate Alstom’s own development of the Digital Train, according to a statement.
 
The transaction is forecast to complete in early-January 2017, at which time Nomad Holdings Ltd. will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alstom, and will be reported within Alstom Digital Mobility. Alstom will begin integrating Nomad Digital into its own group from that time onwards, while ensuring that Nomad Holdings operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, retaining its well-known brand, and independent identity. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
