Sending strictly confidential packages with standardized shape and content: Achim Ilzhöfer compares the cloud-based data ecosystem Cofinity-X with the Catena-X standards to an advanced postal system for sustainability. The Covestro manager, responsible for "Global Circular Economy", is convinced of the "super data platform". "We see a big future in the automatability of a secure and standardized data exchange, especially if it can be rolled out globally," he says.
