Among all the projects the passenger reservation system is the most important projects that CRIS has ever delivered. It provides the online railway ticket booking facility which is used by millions of users. Recently a new version of the same has been delivered which is also known as the next generation reservation system or eTicketing system as explained at http://pnrstatus.getprotected.in (also known as irctc login among indians). The reason why this project is of great importance is that it has not only allowed the fast online ticket booking but also has dramatically increased the railway ticket sales. The users can use the system for almost 24 hours (apart from midnight hours where site is down for maintenance) and hence have the nice option in hand of booking railway tickets anytime.
Since the number of mobile users are ever increasing, CRIS has made sure that it has provided the mobile and small device version of the eTicketing system as well. For example, many apps for android and windows OS based mobiles have been launched in recent past in order to do booking with ease from these devices. Already 2 apps, the IRCTC connect app, and windows 8 black berry app, have become quite popular.
As an organization CRIS focuses on new ways of conducting business by combining IT innovation and adoption, while leveraging an organization’s current IT assets. A great example is train enquiry or National Train Enquiry System (NTES) which provides facility to do railway enquiry online.
With its expansion, CRIS has also generating new jobs. Recently offer letters have been sent for the post of assistant software engineer and assistant network engineer. Thus it is attracting new talent in order to meet its goal of building complex yet cost effective and sustainable information systems.
