BMW Scaled Onboarding

T-Systems is launching the Catena-X Supplier-to-Supplier Meetup Series, a monthly, regional platform designed by suppliers, for suppliers. These meetups foster open exchange, practical collaboration, and peer-to-peer learning across supply tiers, helping Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers accelerate Catena-X adoption, share real-world experiences, and build trusted networks for the future of the automotive value chain.

T-Systems has been officially certified by Catena-X for the Company Certificate Management use case—marking a key milestone for secure and scalable data collaboration in the ecosystem. With our Connect & Integrate solution, companies can get started quickly and in full compliance, without technical complexity. The fully Catena-X-compliant infrastructure (CX-0135) includes features like automated expiry alerts, revocation handling, and seamless integration with internal systems. This helps organizations manage digital identities more efficiently and build trust across company borders.
