Sigma Software Nominated AWS European Sovereign Cloud Launch Partner

Why This Matters

By becoming an AWS ESC Launch Partner, Sigma Software gains early access to tools, resources, and expertise that allow us to help clients migrate, build, and optimize workloads on this sovereign platform from day one.

As AWS rolls out the European Sovereign Cloud, starting in Germany and later expanding across the EU, Sigma Software will continue to stand at the forefront, ensuring our clients can harness its benefits safely and effectively.

What is AWS European Sovereign Cloud?

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a new, independent cloud for Europe, designed to help customers meet their evolving sovereignty needs, including stringent data residency, operational autonomy, and resiliency requirements.

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud will be the only fully-featured, independently operated sovereign cloud backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections designed to meet the needs of European governments and enterprises. ESC will initially launch in Germany and expand to other European countries over time.

The focus is on enabling European organizations to leverage AWS innovation while ensuring compliance with strict national and EU-level regulations.

To assist clients in maintaining compliance, AWS offers a large network of partners and Sigma Software is one of them.

Who Will Benefit Most?

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is designed for organizations that are required or prefer to store data locally within their country while still enjoying the scalability and flexibility of AWS.

Key sectors include:

• GovTech – public sector organizations with strict data governance needs.
• Defense – secure, sovereign infrastructure for national security-related workloads.
• Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) – ensuring compliance with local and EU financial regulations.
• Healthcare – safe storage and processing of sensitive patient data in line with GDPR and national healthcare laws.
