Digital Sovereignty Begins with the Right Global Cloud: Open Source & Infrastructure Made in Europe
Digital Sovereignty starts with the Global Cloud made in Europe
Non-European tech corporations shape our digital everyday life – often without real alternatives. Many companies rely on their products because they are considered irreplaceable. But those who remain in this dependency gradually lose control over technology, data, and processes. The good news: there is a way out. And it starts with open source and a European cloud infrastructure, like the one offered by Anexia.
Dependency is Not a Law of Nature
Email, office applications, cloud storage, databases – nearly every organization uses digital tools daily that are controlled by a few international corporations. These providers decide on prices, functions, and access – often without regard for individual needs or data protection standards.
What begins conveniently quickly turns into a trap. The result is a massive loss of control – technically, economically, and legally. Anyone who wants to act digitally sovereign needs alternatives that reclaim this control.
Open Source and Digital Sovereignty:
More Than just a Technical Approach
Open-source software offers you exactly that: freedom of choice. Instead of closed systems and licensing constraints, you gain full transparency. You determine what a solution looks like, how it is developed further, and which functions are prioritized for you.
You retain data sovereignty, can make individual adjustments, and avoid vendor lock-in. At the same time, you meet the highest security and GDPR compliance standards – because you retain full control over your data and infrastructure.
Digital Self-determination requires
Clear Decisions
Anyone who takes digital sovereignty seriously thinks strategically – and relies on IT based on open standards, open-source strategies, and European infrastructure. The shift from proprietary systems to open solutions is not a radical break but a planned transformation process that combines flexibility, transparency, and sustainability – and at the same time can create a real competitive advantage for your company.
