Long-Term Partnership with C1 Drives Efficiency, Scalability, and Innovation Across Rail Operations
BLOOMINGTON, Minn., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Herzog, a leading provider of railroad construction, maintenance, and operations services across North America, has completed another successful Webex by Cisco migration in partnership with C1, a global leader in technology solutions engineered for outcomes.
Since first engaging with C1 for infrastructure modernization, Herzog has relied on C1’s engineering expertise and responsiveness to deploy advanced communications solutions that keep its teams connected across more than 30 locations in the U.S. and Canada. This milestone marks another achievement in a multi-year collaboration between Herzog and C1, underscoring the strength of their partnership and shared commitment to operational excellence.
“C1 understands how we work—and they deliver every time,” said Tyler Steele, Systems Administrator at Herzog. “This was our third Webex deployment with their professional services team, and each one gets better. On go-live day, we didn’t make a single support call—that’s how seamless it was.”
As Herzog continues to expand its rail operations—including managing and maintaining 17 transit properties across North America—the need for reliable, scalable communications is critical. Partnering with C1, Herzog transitioned from a complex on-premises environment to Webex Cloud Communications through C1’s Total Care services.
The result: a fully integrated, cloud-based communications system that simplifies management, enhances reliability, and enables real-time collaboration between field crews, administrators, and project partners.
“Herzog’s commitment to resilience and innovation aligns perfectly with C1’s mission,” said Elliot Olschwang, Chief Services Officer at C1. “Supporting their evolution from legacy systems to modern, cloud-based communications across multiple projects demonstrates the strength of our partnership. Together, we’re building technology foundations that drive business outcomes.”
With this third successful migration, Herzog has positioned itself for continued growth and digital agility—ready to scale rapidly for future projects while maintaining the dependable, high-performance infrastructure that defines its brand.
