Ekan Management's Catena-X Advisory Team
Ekan Management has certified five of its consultants as Catena-X advisory consultants. This means we meet the requirements as a Catena-X Qualified Advisory Provider.
Ekan has worked with consulting on processes, value flows and digitalization in the automotive industry for many years. In the coming years, several new laws will place demands on all actors in the value chain, not least related to data exchange and increased transparency. For us at Ekan, it has therefore been important to find an effective way to help with the challenges this entails. When we came into contact with Catena-X We were immediately captivated by the ideas that underpin the network.
When an advisory role opened up to help OEMs and other players in the value chain, we didn't hesitate. That's why we quickly qualified a team of five consultants (see contact details below). As a result, Ekan Management can now call itself Catena-X Qualified Advisory ProviderOur role as an advisor is primarily about guidance and evaluation linked to processes, tools and strategy, as well as supporting implementation.
What is Catena-X?
Catena-X is the first open and collaborative data ecosystem for the automotive industry. It aims to create a seamless, secure and standardized data exchange between actors across the entire value chain – from OEMs and suppliers to dealers and service providers.
