The Universal Wallet Infrastructure (UWI), a ground-breaking platform intended to provide enterprise-grade digital trust services, is being developed and scaled by NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL and Accenture.
In order to ensure smooth interoperability between businesses, governments, industries, and regions, the collaboratively built infrastructure enables companies to issue, validate, and manage credentials and tokens across digital identity, money, assets, and documents.
While adhering to legal requirements, this promotes innovation, protects user consent, and creates new revenue streams.
People are demanding more transparency, control, and trust in how their data is used as the world economy grows more digital and AI-powered, and organizations are being challenged to take advantage of data and AI’s potential to reduce risk, introduce efficiencies, and boost resilience.
To greatly improve the usefulness of data, organizations must reevaluate their existing data architectures and investigate decentralized strategies that release them from centrally managed systems.
By connecting today’s dispersed, siloed systems with decentralized technologies for safe, reliable, real-time data interchange and smooth partner coordination, UWI tackles these issues while enabling AI at the edge to provide real-time, customized services.
By granting users authority over their data, UWI promotes trust and enables safe data sharing, unlocking access to precise, consent-driven data that stimulates innovation, fortifies compliance, and improves customer experiences, ultimately propelling business success.
Employers streamlining hiring, training, mobility, and compliance, government agencies seeking to reduce fraud, do away with paperwork, and improve access for all, and travel systems facilitating seamless, customized travel across airlines, hotels, and borders are just a few examples of the real-world applications of this.
The emergence of a decentralized data economy has the capacity to transform global companies and society. UWI promotes inclusive growth, strengthens digital trust, and propels sustainable economic advancement by giving people control over their data and enabling enterprises to innovate responsibly.
