Shannon Bell, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Information Officer at OpenText stated:
“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 and S3NS Partner to Deliver European Sovereign Cloud Solutions with Google Cloud
OpenText™ has formed a strategic partnership with S3NS, an alliance between Thales, a French leader in cybersecurity in Europe, and Google Cloud, to bring European organizations a trusted cloud platform based on Google Cloud technology, that meets the highest security and compliance criteria in France to offer strict data residency, regulatory compliance, and operational controls.
This approach is designed to preserve full interoperability with global cloud platforms, ensuring French and European organizations can continue to benefit from hyperscaler innovation while meeting local regulatory obligations.
The OpenText and S3NS trusted cloud capabilities meet stringent regulatory and operational requirements, leveraging OpenText’s operational and security experience from delivering government-grade cloud environments in multiple jurisdictions including FedRAMP-authorized, IRAP-assessed, and Protected B-aligned deployments and based on S3NS SecNumCloud qualified Platform, PREMI3NS, to create a hybrid trusted cloud offering designed specifically for France’s regulatory and jurisdictional requirements. This enables organizations in highly regulated industries, such as those managing sensitive citizen, patient, or financial data, to adopt cloud services while maintaining full compliance and control.
The initial hybrid sovereign offering will include:
- Dedicated Private Cloud: OpenText™ Content Management and Documentum Content Management for highly sensitive data.
- Sovereign SaaS: OpenText™ Core Archive for SAP® Solutions offered as a multi-tenant service with European data residency.
- Regulatory Compliance: Supports GDPR, SecNum 3.2, and other European data sovereignty requirements.
“Data governance and regulatory alignment are foundational to digital trust for regulated organizations,” said Shannon Bell. “Across Europe, organizations are seeking innovation that preserves sovereignty and control. OpenText is delivering on that need by pairing hyperscaler innovation with an independently governed operating model, giving customers the confidence to modernize while keeping their data, access, and operations securely under regional control.”
