en.Wedoany.com Reported - T-Systems (the enterprise services division of Deutsche Telekom) has partnered with SupplyOn, an industrial supply chain network company, to integrate artificial intelligence systems into European supply chain operations, offering enterprises a service that accelerates processes and meets sovereignty requirements.

The SupplyOn platform supports digital collaboration for approximately 140,000 enterprises across more than 100 countries, covering core supply chain processes such as procurement, supplier management, quality assurance, logistics, and risk management.

SupplyOn is connecting its platform to the T-Systems Industrial AI Cloud. In its announcement, Deutsche Telekom stated that this move enables enterprises to use AI to automate and accelerate procurement, logistics, and supplier management processes while retaining full control over their data.

SupplyOn believes this initiative addresses key challenges facing the industry: increasing supply chain complexity, rising regulatory requirements, and growing geopolitical risks, all of which require enterprises to make faster, data-driven decisions. The combination of AI and sovereign infrastructure provides the technological foundation to meet these needs.

AI processes run on the T-Systems Industrial AI Cloud, ensuring that sensitive procurement, production, and supplier data remains under European control and is processed in accordance with strict data protection and security standards. Enterprises can leverage the benefits of AI while meeting privacy, security, and digital sovereignty requirements.

Deutsche Telekom added that by connecting to T-Systems' sovereign infrastructure, enterprises can integrate AI applications directly into existing supply chain processes. This partnership creates a powerful and sovereign AI platform for digital collaboration between manufacturers and suppliers.

Initially, SupplyOn will use the T-Systems Industrial AI Cloud to support its new AI-native sourcing service. This service enables AI agents to support procurement teams throughout the sourcing process, including supplier selection, bid evaluation, and preparing informed procurement decisions. All AI processing takes place entirely within Deutsche Telekom's AI data center in Munich.

Dr. Ferri Abolhassan, CEO of T-Systems, stated that AI is becoming the operating system of modern supply chains, and enterprises that want to fully leverage the potential of this technology must retain control over their data, applications, and processes. The partnership with SupplyOn makes this possible: enabling innovation through sovereign and secure digital infrastructure without creating dependencies.
