T-Systems’ Connect & Integrate solution is now officially Catena-X-certified for the Traceability use case under the latest Saturn release. This certification expands T-Systems’ growing portfolio of Catena-X capabilities and reinforces its role in enabling secure, interoperable data exchange across automotive supply chains. By supporting traceability, quality processes, and collaboration through standardized dataspaces, T-Systems helps companies gain transparency across complex value chains, improve compliance, and respond faster to supply chain disruptions while maintaining full data sovereignty within the Catena-X ecosystem.

Companies store enormous amounts of data, yet much of its potential often remains unused. Information is spread across dozens of databases and applications in different formats. Studies by McKinsey and the Microsoft Work Trend Index show that employees spend around a quarter of their working day simply searching for information. T-Systems addresses this data labyrinth: the platform “Talk to your data” searches, links, analyzes, and visualizes data with the help of an AI agent. Corporate knowledge becomes instantly accessible through a simple chat interface. Initial pilot projects already demonstrate significant efficiency gains. The time required for complex analyses has been reduced from six hours to less than 60 minutes.

T‑Systems and German Edge Cloud are joining forces to deliver integrated, ready‑to‑use digital solutions for industrial data ecosystems such as Catena‑X.

During the 2026 Carnival season, the Telekom mobile network in the strongholds of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bonn, Mainz, and Aachen recorded a new data peak of 2 million gigabytes — an increase of more than 30 percent. Cologne clearly topped the city ranking. The mobile data shows strong visitor flows into Cologne, high 5G usage, and noticeable demographic differences depending on the carnival hotspot. The AI-powered RAN Guardian Agent optimized the network during more than 130 major events. Instagram was the most popular app. Additionally, anonymized Motion Data analyses support planning and safety at large-scale events.
