Connect Basic

Connect Basic is the basic package for participation and data provisioning in the Catena-X Data Ecosystem. It enables the use of applications and also the role as a data provider with data sovereignty protection in Catena-X. To simplify operations and maintenance such as, software updates, the solution is available as a managed service in the cloud, and thus works without software download and local installation. However, with the basic package, the customer has to take care of the connection and configuration to the Catena-X exosystem himself. We deliver a "data phone", which runs in the cloud and is automatically maintained and updated by us. The "connection or SIM card" is provided by the customer.

Connect Advanced

The Advanced package builds on Connect Basic and includes all the features of the Basic offering. It extends the Basic package with Catena-X connection and configuration services and additionally offers an automatic connection solution to the Catena-X Ecosystem through the "Autosetup" functionality.

Autosetup

The customer does not have to take care of the connection in the Catena-X network himself, the Advanced solution includes a "data phone" with "connection or SIM card". This eliminates the need for the customer to configure the connection solution. In addition, the "data phone" in the Advanced package has "Easy Data" functionality.

Easy Data

This additional functionality simplifies the provision of data for applications and data products such as digital twins. "Easy Data" also provides a user interface for this purpose, which can be used to manage data products. As a data provider, the customer can keep track of the different data offerings with their respective (a) access restrictions (who is allowed to see my data offering) and (b) usage policies (how the data may be used) when providing data. The Advanced package allows both large and small companies to focus immediately on data offerings and application usage instead of having to deal with the connection to the Catena-X system. For those who want to further secure their data offering, the "Sovereign Plus" solution can be added as an additional option to the Advanced package.

"Sovereign Plus" option

With this additional option, the data offers for the Catena-X network are stored in the memory of your own "data phone" in the T-System Sovereign Cloud. This extends data sovereignty protection beyond the sharing of data in the network to the local intermediate and storage of data on the customer side.

Connect & Integrate Standard

Builds on CONNECT Advanced and is aimed at companies that want to exchange data regularly and frequently with Catena-X applications in scenarios with low to medium complexity. To reduce manual effort, customers can use the standard product BASE-X (Basic Exchange Service for Catena-X) to partially automate individual steps such as data mapping or data synchronization. This is done via a simple user interface with an underlying database, in which a customer can publish or download data packages via an API with just a few clicks, thereby reducing the complexity of Catena-X. The package can be obtained at an affordable fixed monthly price.

Connect & Integrate Customized

Customized offering as a tailor-made service for companies (no fixed price package) that aim for a largely automated and low-maintenance data exchange with Catena-X. Based on CONNECT Advanced, companies receive a solution for backend integration that is individually adapted to their framework conditions and also efficiently serves more complex scenarios (e.g. large number of data sources or data formats, high data exchange volume, multiple Catena-X use cases). The T-Systems Backend Integration Kit provides various solution modules for this purpose, which are used as required and cover many of the Catena-X requirements out-of-the-box (including SIA (/Semantic Integration Assistant), PDM WebConnector, as well as ETL market products and corresponding open source solutions).
