How we bring BEYOND project to life
BEYOND H2020 project achieves a high degree of intelligence and optimization through utilizing state-of-the-art technologies
Effortless data exploration & management
We ease the curation, mapping and linking of private data assets with external data based on a Common Information Model. We support searching, locating/”matchmaking”, understanding, exploring and “preparing” energy-related data for analytics.
End-to-end data security & real data privacy
We allow encrypting and check-in data through an on-premise environment with multiple modalities. We ensure that collected data remains private and on-premise while allowing for joint actions with other “trusted” stakeholders.
Analytics as a Service
We enable novel applications for the whole value chain like (a) Personal Analytics, (b) Industrial Analytics, (c) Edge baseline analytics.
Trusted data sharing
We build an environment where creating, signing and validating smart multi-party data contracts in an immutable manner is possible while remunerating the involved stakeholders.
By-design Interoperability
We provide standardized interfaces to collect and export intelligence gained.
Advanced access control
We regulate access to private data assets through declarative authorization policies.
