Vendor lock-in, data protection, security vulnerabilities—factors like these are making it increasingly obvious that independence in the digital world is crucial both for the public sector and private enterprises. Control over data, technologies and infrastructures along with associated data protection, IT security, technology and vendor independence are central pillars of digital sovereignty. The public sector in particular is facing substantial issues also as a result of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The solution? Sovereign workplaces based on open source applications that promotes open digital standards. Bechtle combines technical expertise and its extensive experience of public-sector requirements with a targeted strategic and conceptual approach.

Digitally sovereign Workplace

  1.  

  2. Flexibility in the sovereign workplace.

  3. Being largely dependent on individual technology providers can result in losing control of your IT and put data sovereignty at risk, making it more difficult to comply with legal requirements or respond quickly to, for example, plug security vulnerabilities or implement programs developed in-house. Open source applications can help organisations, public-sector clients and businesses do all of those things by ensuring data sovereignty and boosting the resilience of the solutions they use, helping them regain control of their infrastructure and applications and minimising their dependence on individual providers.

Autonomy.

Open source solutions are an alternative to well-known software vendors and give public sector customers and businesses more choice enabling better compliance with the GDPR.

 

Resilience.

Open source solutions can help boost resilience in the face of disruptions and minimise threats through transparency, fast response capabilities and an open source code.

 

Modern way of working.

A lack of skilled workers and other customer, citizen and employee demands are forcing a rethink of who things get done and digital sovereignty provides modern, secure and scalable solutions.

Definition – Digital sovereignty and the sovereign workplace.

Digital sovereignty means enabling businesses, organisations and individuals to enjoy greater autonomy over their digital assets and data and the sovereign workplace does exactly that. Using open source applications, businesses and organisations don’t have to worry about vendor lock-ins. When a sovereign workplace is designed and integrated in accordance with existing needs, the result is agile, unfettered and secure working that complies with statutory requirements such as the EU GDPR.

 


What are managed services?

Managed services are (IT) services and related tasks that are handled by an external provider on behalf of another organisation, including cloud, backup and IT security services. Managed service providers (MSP)

are proactive, meaning they work to ensure smooth operations and prevent issues, rather than merely respond to incidents. The scope of services provided are governed by a service level agreement (SLA). MSPs usually provide services remotely, but if required, can also replace defective parts on-site.
