Data Spaces

Why?

Data Space provide a secure and standard-based data exchange solution where you remain in control of your data, while significantly reducing your integration efforts with customers, partners and suppliers.

What?

The Data Space Assessment looks at Data Space readiness against industry standards and best practices, e.g. Gaia-X/ IDSA reference architectures or the Catena-X data space implementation.

A Data Space Strategy describes your vision of Data Spaces and uses a DS Maturity Model to plan a roadmap from where you are to where you want to go. It also covers topics like changes to your current operating model, digital landscape and solution development processes.

The Data Space Architecture describes the execution of your Data Space Strategy and is therefore often created in a project covering both, strategy and architecture. The architecture describes the future digital landscape required to implement business use cases that use Data Spaces for implementing an end-to-end solution.

Catena-X is the first operational Data Space for a whole industry globally. To integrate a company into a Data Space requires specific skill and knowledge of the relevant standards. Therefore Catena-X has developed a Catena-X qualified Advisory Provider program that INOVIA is part of.

How?

  • We use standards and industry best practices to shape our work. This ensures interoperability as well as the availability of enough skilled resources for implementation.
  • We also use reference frameworks, architectures and models to maximize re-use of existing open-source IP, accelerating development for project deliverables, while improving quality.
  • In all our engagement we use GenAI and AI Agents to augment our consultants. This improves the productivity but also provides more relevant insights and functions as a QA mechanism.
  • From a way of working perspective, we prefer a mix of Design Thinking and Agile/Scrum for project delivery.
