Trusted distributed computing enables secure collaboration

This particular trusted collaboration involved one of the world’s largest distribution system operators (DSOs) and one of the world’s largest automakers, including Electric Vehicles (EVs).

The DSO and the automotive OEM saw the need to work closely together to plan future EV charging network deployments. They wanted to analyze current EV geolocation status as well as examine forward-looking EV trends.

The DSO and OEM needed a secure data collaboration and data management platform that could keep sensitive data safe, and maintain GDPR protection.  They turned to Intertrust. Using the Intertrust Platform, the partners are able to work securely across hundreds of data silos and clouds. The Platform acts as a secure data virtualization, data aggregation, and data collaboration layer for all the different data sources and formats. 

The trusted exchange of data with these partners allows utilities to understand their customers better and boost operational efficiency. Unfortunately, without a trusted distributed computing solution, utilities struggle to mitigate the operational and reputation risks associated with sensitive data and intellectual property.

Efficiency is bogged down by cumbersome, manual processes that slow down growth. This leads to a lag in the development of new business and revenue models, affecting the bottom line.
