The way companies exchange product-related data is undergoing fundamental change: away from document-based processes and toward standardized data collaboration in data spaces.
The most recent article by Peter Tabbert and Maximilian Weigel in the Product Data Journal 2025-1 highlights how companies such as OEMs, suppliers, and development service providers can actively shape this change.
A key aspect is the technical and organizational connection to data spaces such as Catena-X. Standards like the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) and ETL services enable collaborative product development in real time – with data sovereignty, interoperability, and scalability.
As an official advisory partner, :em AG supports companies throughout the entire transformation process – from analysis to implementation – using the model-based MBITA® method.
