Artificial intelligence and Big Data are transforming the way organisations manage their operations. Every day, companies across all sectors generate large volumes of information from their systems, infrastructures, applications and processes.<\/p>\n

The main challenge is no longer simply having access to data, but being able to connect it, interpret it and turn it into valuable knowledge to improve decision-making, optimise resources and deliver higher-value services.<\/p>\n

How can we harness all this potential collaboratively at a sector level while maintaining security, trust and sovereignty over information?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this vision, SOMIA was born: an innovative Data Space project for the ICT services sector, driven by Group Salt\u00f3 and funded by the European Union \u2013 Next Generation EU and the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Administration within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.<\/p>\n

The project aims to create a secure and collaborative environment where customers, technology partners, industrial companies and manufacturers can share and leverage data intelligently through artificial intelligence agents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From data to knowledge: a new way of managing ICT services<\/h2>\n

Technology service management continuously generates information: incidents, assets, infrastructures, contracts, projects, operational metrics, support history and performance indicators.<\/p>\n

However, this data is often distributed across multiple systems, making it difficult to achieve a global view and limiting the ability to anticipate problems or identify improvement opportunities.<\/p>\n

SOMIA was created to overcome this barrier by building an ecosystem where data can be integrated and analysed intelligently, helping organisations move from a reactive model towards a more predictive approach to management.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are Data Spaces and AI agents?<\/h2>\n

A Data Space is a collaborative digital ecosystem where different organisations can securely share information under common rules.<\/p>\n

Unlike other traditional information exchange models, participating in a Data Space does not mean losing control over your own data.<\/p>\n

Each organisation retains sovereignty over its information, deciding what data it shares, with whom, for what purpose and under what conditions.<\/p>\n

This enables the creation of a trusted environment where companies within the same ecosystem can collaborate, generate new knowledge and improve their services without compromising security or privacy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the project\u2019s key innovations is the integration of AI agents. These are digital components that act as intelligent operational assistants, capable of analysing information, detecting patterns and supporting professional teams in the day-to-day management of technological operations.<\/p>\n

This integration makes it possible to leverage the Data Space without requiring technical expertise and through the use of natural language.<\/p>\n

For example, an AI agent can:<\/p>\n
