Innovation Program Lead - Data Management & Business Models, TÜV SÜD Auto Service GmbH
On the EU initiative ERJU, we set up a one-stop shop application in a dataspace environment, which allows all participants within the work package to use the out-of-the-box solution seamlessly. T-Systems took care of all the technological details for the dataspace environment, ensuring a smooth onboarding process so we could focus on our end-to-end story and business case. I think this is a perfect example of developing an application in a dataspace.

The T-Systems Sandbox environment has been invaluable for exploring use cases and requirements for the European Rail Data Space. It enabled us to deploy connectors and exchange data pragmatically which also provided a concrete demonstration how the Rail Data Space works for companies outside the Europe’s Rail research project—paving the way for the expansion of the new secure and trustful data ecosystem for Rail.
