Sovereign Cloud Platform for the German Public Sector

The comprehensive digitization of the public sector in Germany is one of the German government's most important projects. The prerequisite for this is the creation of a high-performance cloud infrastructure that acts as the technological foundation of a digital administration at both the federal and state levels.

To achieve this goal, Arvato Systems wants to work with SAP to provide a sovereign cloud platform for Germany's public sector. We will be responsible for the technical operation of the cloud and will contribute our expertise in cloud transformation and the operation of cloud platforms. SAP will contribute its cloud-based solutions as well as its extensive experience in the area of specialist procedures in the public sector. In doing so, we are cooperating closely with another of our strategic partners - Microsoft.  In this way, we will ensure that our offering based on the Azure platform will serve the current and future requirements of public administration in the sense of a multi-service platform.

The new cloud offering from Arvato Systems and SAP will be technically, operationally, and legally sovereign, following the requirements of German legislation. All public sector customer data for this cloud platform will remain in Germany.
