Dortmund, January 23rd, 2024 – T-Systems has successfully obtained the world’s first certification from the International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) for their Dataspace Connector – the essential component for connecting to dataspaces. IDSA is considered a key organization for standardizing Dataspaces, playing a crucial role in the sustainable development of the data economy.
The first step towards added value is the connection – Connector
Dataspaces allow companies to securely and sovereign exchange and share data, creating a connected and transparent data infrastructure. To participate in Dataspaces, a sovereign connection is required – a so-called Connector. T-Systems provides such a Connector as a Managed Service to make participation in Dataspaces easy and fast for businesses of all sizes.
Certifications for broad success in complex ecosystems
IDSA is committed to creating standards for data spaces and promoting the development of secure and interoperable solutions in this field. With the successful acquisition of the IDSA certificate for the Dataspace Connector, T-Systems emphasizes its position as a pioneer in the data spaces domain. The certified Connector provides users with assurance that their data can be exchanged in a data-driven environment according to the highest security and quality standards. Moreover, collaboration between service providers marks a significant step towards data spaces interoperability, resulting on an easier process and more benefits for the end customer. T-Systems acts proactively towards that common goal.
“As pioneers in Dataspaces, we at T-Systems are proud to label our Connector as the first IDSA-certified Dataspace Connector. This certification underscores our commitment to security and interoperability in the data economy,” says Sven Löffler, Chapter Lead Data Intelligence Hub at T-Systems.
“Witnessing T-Systems obtaining the world’s first IDS certification for their Dataspace Connector is a momentous occasion,” says Sonia Jimenez, Director Data Space Technology at IDSA. “This achievement not only signifies a crucial step in standardizing data spaces but also highlights our dedication to fostering secure, interoperable solutions that contribute to the sustainable development of the data economy.”
Resilience and efficiency through the use of data spaces
The IDSA certification of the Dataspace Connector is an important step for T-Systems to meet the increasing requirements for secure and efficient data traffic. This is the basis for business applications – so-called super apps – that should enable companies to create sustainable added value from their data and thus become more efficient and resilient.
