OpenText Brings AI and Data Solutions to AWS European Sovereign Cloud

OpenText expands its enterprise AI and data solutions to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, helping EU-regulated organizations meet strict data residency requirements.

OpenText, a global leader in secure information management for AI, announced that it will make several of its enterprise data and AI solutions available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud a new, fully independent cloud infrastructure purpose-built for Europe.

This move marks a significant milestone not only for OpenText but also for regulated European organizations that have long struggled to balance AI adoption with strict data governance obligations.

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a fully featured, independently operated sovereign cloud backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections designed specifically to meet the needs of European governments and enterprises. Rather than being a simple regional extension, it is, in fact, a standalone infrastructure entirely separate from standard AWS commercial cloud regions.

As a result, it gives organizations an entirely new level of assurance: that their data, operations, and governance remain firmly within EU boundaries at all times.

Taken together, these tools form a comprehensive enterprise suite. More specifically, OpenText’s solutions deliver structured, secure content management, making data ready for AI-powered analytics and automation that accelerate data-driven decision-making while providing clients with the same security, availability, and performance they expect from AWS.

Furthermore, this arrangement enables OpenText customers to meet stringent operational autonomy and data residency requirements within the European Union.

Europe’s regulatory landscape has grown increasingly demanding in recent years. Regulations such as GDPR, NIS2, and emerging EU AI Act provisions have placed compliance at the centre of every enterprise IT decision. Consequently, many organizations have delayed AI adoption simply because they could not guarantee that their sensitive data would stay within EU jurisdiction.

OpenText confirmed that customers will be able to use AWS cloud capabilities while keeping sensitive data and governance securely anchored within Europe effectively solving one of the most pressing concerns facing CIOs and compliance officers across the continent.

Additionally, this solution is designed for regulated sectors like banking, healthcare, and government industries where data control and GDPR compliance are not optional but fundamental.

This announcement did not come out of nowhere. Rather, it builds on a long history of working with some of the world’s most compliance-sensitive organizations.

OpenText has spent years building trusted, secure content solutions for the world’s most regulated industries and regions including FedRAMP-authorized, IRAP-assessed, and Protected B-aligned deployments. Making our solution available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud brings that expertise to a sovereign cloud purpose-built for the European Union. Together with AWS, we are giving customers the confidence to innovate at scale without compromising on control.

OpenText is also partnering with French hosting provider S3NS to deliver European sovereign cloud solutions powered by Google Cloud, targeting sectors such as banking, healthcare, and government.

Together, these two announcements signal a deliberate and coordinated strategy. Rather than depending on a single hyperscaler, OpenText is building a multi-cloud sovereign architecture that can serve European enterprises across different regulatory and jurisdictional needs.

The moves are part of a broader push to position “sovereign cloud” as a hybrid-trust model, where critical data and access-control logic run in dedicated private-cloud or EU-hosted environments, while other components use multi-tenant infrastructure still confined to European data centres.

Customers can begin planning their transition to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud today. OpenText has confirmed that the transition planning process is now open, allowing enterprises to assess their readiness and map their migration paths.

Looking ahead, OpenText will offer customers a hybrid sovereign cloud architecture that supports regulated European Union organizations with secure, AI-ready data platforms, complementing what is already available in North America.

This partnership arrives at a time when demand for sovereign cloud infrastructure across Europe is accelerating sharply. Governments, financial institutions, and healthcare providers are all actively searching for cloud solutions that offer both the scalability of hyperscalers and the compliance guarantees of local infrastructure.

Europe is quickly becoming the testing ground for how future cloud systems will operate worldwide. Businesses everywhere are watching how the region balances AI growth with privacy rules.

If this model proves successful, it could reshape how cloud vendors compete globally shifting the conversation away from raw performance and toward trust, compliance, and regional accountability.
