Today

  • Every enterprise owns plenty of different data. This data is unstructured, isolated and stored in hundreds of different semantic models
  • Companies have to find individual solutions for data exchange with every partner. This is expensive and unnecessarily complex.
  • Value chains are fragile and slow when it comes to deviations from the norm
