Administration to Consumer

Glossary Page

Administration to Consumer (A2C), also known as job postings by employment agencies, refers to the process in which employment agencies or other public institutions directly target job postings to individual consumers. In the context of Administration to Consumer, the employment agency or public institution creates a list of available job postings that match the requirements and preferences of job seekers. These job postings are then published through various channels such as online platforms, job boards, local offices, or other media to attract the attention of potential applicants. Individual consumers then have the opportunity to respond to the job postings by submitting their applications or resumes to the employment agency or the specified contact person. The employment agency reviews the received applications and, if necessary, conducts selection processes to choose the most suitable candidates for the open positions.

Making Interoperability Click in Manufacturing

Interoperability in manufacturing is often misunderstood—not because companies doubt its importance, but because it's difficult to visualize what success looks like. This blog uses simple analogies to explain the core challenges: outdated machines that can’t “speak” to modern systems, and people hesitant to share data without context or trust. With solutions like Asset Administration Shells and Data Spaces, manufacturers can unlock hidden value, foster secure collaboration, and take real steps toward digital transformation.

Enabling cross-ecosystem commerce: A perspective by NTT and T-Systems

T-Systems and NTT are shaping the future of trusted global data exchange by combining telecom-grade infrastructure with federated identity and dataspace interoperability. Their joint contributions to the IDSA paper and cross-border testbeds between Europe and Japan show how telcos can drive secure, scalable, and regulation-compliant data collaboration across ecosystems. This approach supports real-world use cases like Digital Product Passports, predictive maintenance, and circular economy models—laying the groundwork for a network of sovereign, interoperable digital infrastructures.

Unlocking factory data power & tackling interoperability with data spaces

Manufacturing is undergoing a digital revolution, yet many transformation initiatives stall due to a fundamental problem: data trapped in silos. The real roadblock isn't AI or lack of tools, but interoperability—the ability of systems, teams, and companies to understand and trust each other's data. This article explores why traditional approaches fail and introduces Manufacturing Data Spaces as the missing foundation. Data Spaces provide a secure, sovereign framework for controlled data sharing across plants and partners—without giving up ownership. From energy efficiency to predictive maintenance and compliance reporting, real-world examples show how manufacturers can unlock value while preserving control. We explore the layers of interoperability, human concerns, key enabling technologies like AAS and OPC UA, and how to get started with pilots that deliver real ROI. For manufacturers, building trust-based data collaboration isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a strategic move that defines future competitiveness in an increasingly connected industry.
