The ongoing challenges of efficiently using data obscure advancement in the complicated world of industry. The complex dance of data exchange struggles with a lack of standard procedures, which hinders smooth cooperation, especially in the real estate and construction industries. Industries struggle to transform data into insights that can be put to use in a world where information is abundant. With their varied data landscapes, the real estate and construction industries face obstacles to productive cooperation. 

The notion of data flow contracts is introduced as a novel way to streamline data sharing, with the Platform of Trust serving as the guiding force. These contracts are the cornerstone of secure, monitored data exchange, strengthened by state-of-the-art technology such as ontological systems. The integration process is further enhanced by the platform’s orchestration tools, Organiser and Harmonizer, which usher in a time when data is no longer just a tool but a reliable partner. Platform of Trust represents more than just a fix; it represents a fundamental change in the way businesses use data.

The main issue is that there aren’t enough unified procedures and data sharing, which Platform of Trust directly addresses. Despite the abundance of data, ineffective exchange methods frequently prevent it from reaching its full potential. This is where Platform of Trust enters the picture, acting not only as a facilitator but also as a revolutionary by bringing in a crucial component- trust.

“We replace the development work normally required for integration. It has been replaced by a local tool called Orchestrator. These orchestrators actually generate connectors. Our platform is connected to the customers with connectors, and then there’s a tool called harmonizer which connects the orchestrator to the customers. Harmonizers are tools that are used multiple times in multiple data exchanges. The harmonizer has built-in data transformations so it can harmonize data. The same problem-solution is repeated for multiple use cases to reuse the code for those data transformations,” says Antti Harjunpää, CEO of Platform of Trust.

In the construction and real estate industries, for example, trust has historically been a personal matter centred on human ties. Platform of Trust, on the other hand, changes the game by establishing contracts for data flow between businesses. These contracts guarantee that shared data is handled with the highest confidentiality because they are supported by a harmonised data architecture. To reinforce this, the platform offers a strong monitoring system that fosters trust between companies in data exchange.

In the modern world, clients have enormous difficulties while managing large volumes of data. To address this issue, Platform of Trust has developed ontological technology, a breakthrough that guarantees uniform computer interpretation of data. When combined with advanced data integration technologies, this streamlines the process of integrating several systems and creates a smooth way of exchanging of data.

One example of a use case is a market-leading construction company that wants to increase productivity by digitising the flow of materials. Platform of Trust enables this by facilitating the digital delivery of materials to the construction site from several sources. This not only simplifies procedures but also demonstrates how well the platform can handle challenging, large-volume data problems.

Platform of Trust will not confine itself to a particular industry in the future. Plans are underway to diversify into areas like energy and real estate emissions data in order to create a holistic ecosystem. The platform aims to create customer data spaces and explore product data, with a focus on innovation and adaptability.

The orchestration tools—the harmonizer and contract console—are the foundation of this life-changing experience. By using local technologies to generate connectors instead of development labor, the Organiser reduces integration expenses. Concurrently, the Harmonizer guarantees uniform data conversions, encouraging the reuse of code for many applications.
