"What’s behind Europe’s efforts to ditch US software in favor of sovereign tech"
TechCrunch
The conversation about Open Source and Data sovereignty is growing.
Sound familiar?
Data residency question
A new client sent a vendor questionnaire. One question asked where our data is stored. We didn't know what to say.
Leaver still has access
Someone left six weeks ago. We only just realised they still had access to our Notion workspace.
Adding new tools takes too long
Researching new tools, getting approval, setting them up. It takes so long that we just don't do it.
AI training on your files
I read that Notion might train AI on our content. That can't be right for our client files.
European businesses are stuck between Big Tech and DIY. Both options fail.
Big Tech SaaS
✗Data on US servers by default
✗AI trains on your files
✗No data residency control
✗Vendor lock-in, rising prices
✗US CLOUD Act exposure
DIY self-hosting
✗Needs a DevOps engineer
✗No central user management
✗Security patches fall on your team
✗Weeks of setup before anyone's productive
