Transforming the Outlook on Sovereign Clouds
A variety of factors, including geopolitical shifts, have led to a new perspective on sovereignty in the cloud. European enterprises are now placing a greater emphasis on operational, political, and technological independence, recognizing the importance of sovereignty in their digital strategies.
SAP’s Commitment to Digital Resilience
SAP has taken a proactive approach to address these concerns, with Martin Merz, president of SAP Sovereign Cloud, highlighting the significance of secure and scalable sovereignty in Europe’s digital landscape. The company’s investment of €20 billion to develop sovereign cloud products demonstrates its dedication to supporting the EU’s push for digital autonomy.
Redefining Sovereignty in Cloud Services
The evolution of cloud services has led to a shift in how enterprises perceive sovereignty. Rather than outsourcing control to cloud providers, businesses are now prioritizing sovereignty as a strategic imperative to maintain ownership of their data and digital destiny. This shift reflects a broader trend towards a more fragmented global cloud infrastructure.
