intive has achieved Silver Partner status with STACKIT, a German cloud provider that stores applications and information exclusively in Germany and Austria. This recognition reflects intive's experience delivering on STACKIT's infrastructure and strengthens our ability to support clients who need real control over where their data lives.
Why this matters now
According to Wire's 2025 European Sovereignty Survey, 84% of respondents see sovereignty as critical, yet only 16% believe Europe will achieve it within five years. Regulatory pressure and geopolitical risk are pushing data sovereignty from a compliance checkbox to a board-level conversation, but most businesses are still figuring out what a credible answer looks like.
What Silver Partner status means
Partner tiers exist to signal proven, certified capability, not just a business relationship on paper. Reaching Silver status means intive's teams have met STACKIT's technical and delivery requirements, so clients get certified expertise from day one.
What this means for clients
Control over data is becoming a strategic asset, and intive & STACKIT Cloud Sovereignty Solutions are built around exactly that transformation. Here's what clients actually walk away with:
- Compliant by design. Every byte collected and processed stays within EU borders, meeting DSGVO/GDPR requirements without retrofitting.
- Resilient against outside pressure. Keeping infrastructure on European soil means reduced exposure to foreign sanctions, shutdowns, or extraterritorial laws like the US CLOUD Act.
- Enterprise-grade control, mid-market scale. What used to require enterprise budgets and public-sector contracts is now within reach for growing organizations, without the complexity tax that usually comes attached.
As Thomas Oswald, intive's expert on cloud sovereignty, puts it:
"Data sovereignty means more than data protection. It means your teams can build and automate on European infrastructure as confidently as on any global cloud. That's the standard we work to on STACKIT, in our client projects today and as this partnership grows."
Proven in practice
intive has already delivered projects on STACKIT's sovereign cloud, including a healthcare digitization project. Clini Code by intive, developed in partnership with STACKIT, is an innovative solution designed to streamline healthcare documentation by transforming handwritten clinical notes into structured, machine-readable data.
This process reduces manual transcription errors, speeds up documentation, and enhances patient care through features like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and automated ICD-10-GM coding. Clini Code integrates seamlessly into existing hospital information systems, ensuring efficient data management and compliance while maintaining high standards of data security and storage.
It's one example of what sovereignty looks like when it's built in from the start, not bolted on after the fact. If your organization is thinking about data sovereignty or needs an AI-native transformation partner that treats sovereignty as a starting point rather than an afterthought, get in touch for a consultation.
