Cefriel Digital Ecosystem - E015 & Ferrari

As part of Cefriel (cefriel.com), I contributed to the development and maintenance of its white-label digital ecosystem platform, used to implement customer ecosystems such as E015 and Ferrari. The platform is part of Cefriel's broader work on digital ecosystems, helping companies and public bodies share data flows and exchange digital assets in regulated B2B environments.

Cefriel's approach to digital ecosystems is to provide a framework and toolkit for creating collaborative environments where organizations can expose and consume APIs and digital assets (datasets, software components, services) under shared rules and governance, enabling new services and innovation across multiple stakeholders. Within this framework, the white-label platform is the technical foundation that can be customized for each customer ecosystem.

Two of the main customer ecosystems I worked on were:

• Ferrari (ferrari.com), where the focus was on extending the platform with security, auditing and data-loading capabilities beyond the default feature set.
• E015, the Lombardy Region digital ecosystem — an open, non-discriminatory environment for integrated software applications, created to enable data sharing and service integration among public and private actors in the region.

For Ferrari, my work centered on strengthening the platform's operational and governance capabilities:

• I implemented audit plugins that generate detailed logs for key actions inside the ecosystem, enabling better traceability and supporting internal audits by both Cefriel and Ferrari.
• I developed plugins to upload and manage digital assets on AWS S3 directly from within the ecosystem, including the logic to associate assets with the right entities and enforce authentication and authorization rules when accessing or modifying them.
• I added multiple mechanisms for bulk data ingestion, so large datasets and configurations could be imported efficiently into the ecosystem instead of relying on manual or one-by-one operations.
• I contributed to reviewing and hardening the security model of the ecosystem setup used by Ferrari, ensuring it met internal security standards and passed periodic security reviews and audits.

For E015, an open digital ecosystem driven by the Lombardy Region to foster innovation and cooperation through data sharing and APIs, I worked with the more standard configuration of the platform, helping to:

• Support the core features required for participants to expose and consume APIs and digital assets under the ecosystem's rules.
• Maintain and evolve the platform so it stayed aligned with the governance and technical guidelines of the E015 ecosystem.
• Ensure stability and quality for a multi-stakeholder environment where many organizations interact through the same shared infrastructure.

Overall, my contribution was as a platform engineer and solution designer within Cefriel's digital ecosystem line of business, focusing on extensibility (plugins), security and auditing, and data ingestion flows so that the same white-label platform could reliably serve different high-profile ecosystems like Ferrari and E015.
