Where does Bechtle stand on digital sovereignty?

Digital sovereignty refers to the ability to make decisions freely and independently, with full technological autonomy, and to maintain control over one’s own systems and data.

The following principles are essential:

Ensuring freedom of choice in terms of technologies and providers.
Building robust systems that can withstand disruptions and external influence.
Enhancing resilience through deliberate alternative strategies, minimised dependencies, and viable exit scenarios
