The power of the Hourglass Model: turning complexity into clarity

⌛️ How the Hourglass Model could revolutionise your digital ecosystem

What if all your data could flow seamlessly, converting data chaos into actionable insight? That’s the power of the Hourglass Model.

Shaped like an hourglass, it maps how data moves from the physical world to user-facing applications. The narrow “waist” is key: a hub of interoperability and standardisation that connects infrastructure, platforms, and analytics.

Each layer pairs technology with stakeholders: infrastructure providers managres IoT and connectivity; dataspace experts turn raw data into insights with AI and digital twins; developers deliver intuitive apps for end users. The model makes roles, responsibilities, and collaboration crystal clear.

Whether you’re building smart cities, mobility platforms, or industrial automation systems, the Hourglass Model visualises the alignment of people, processes, and platforms. It’s a blueprint for modular, scalable, and resilient digital ecosystems.
