For IT architectures that protect your data. Today and in the future.

In the digital transformation of public administration, digital sovereignty has become a key priority. It enables organisations to retain full control over their data, systems, and technologies—and make independent decisions at every stage. Covering technological, operational, and strategic dimensions, digital sovereignty is essential for long-term stability, adaptability, and growth. We support our customers in building resilient IT environments with strong system integrity and genuine freedom of choice in technology.
With decades of experience, we’ve guided countless public institutions and businesses on their path to digital sovereignty. As a future-first IT partner, we offer a broad, end-to-end portfolio of technologies and services—from infrastructure to operations—all from a single source. And with around 120 locations in 14 countries, we’re always close to our customers.

Digital sovereignty as a core element of future-proof IT architectures.

Digital sovereignty – A cornerstone of future-ready IT architectures.


A holistic, architecture-centred approach is essential to achieving digital sovereignty. This applies whether organisations are working to meet NIS2 cybersecurity requirements, comply with the EU’s newly enforced AI Act, or ensure GDPR-compliant data processing and storage. Broader international frameworks, such as the US Cloud Act, further underscore the need to clearly structure data flows and responsibilities. But sovereignty isn’t about technological isolation. It’s about recognising and actively reducing dependencies. This enables organisations to stay in control, maintain continuity, and operate efficiently within a robust end-to-end IT architecture that supports true freedom of choice and long-term resilience.
 

Our process model for your independence.

With our strategic process model, we support you in systematically analysing and evaluating your IT architectures and further developing them with regard to the maturity level of your sovereignty – based on your individual business model.

1.
Evaluation of applications, processes and infrastructure
2.
Comprehensive review of technology, organisation and regulatory aspects
3.
Identification of areas for action and risk classes
4.
Derivation of concrete measures in the context of your business processes
5.
Design and implementation of sovereign IT architectures
6.
Secure and resilient operation

We enable secure and sovereign IT environments through vendor-independent architectures, flexible software strategies – including the targeted use of open source technologies – and European cloud solutions. In doing so, we always ensure that regulatory requirements such as GDPR and other legal frameworks are reliably met, while at the same time guaranteeing technological freedom of choice, robustness and exit scenarios. The solutions are individually scalable – from on-premise to multi-cloud – and are based on a deep understanding of the requirements of the public sector. The result is a resilient operating model that combines digital sovereignty and resilience.
