Sovereignty Migration Planner

An enterprise architecture tool that maps your existing AWS/Azure/GCP estate against EU-sovereign alternatives and produces a costed, phased migration roadmap with compliance deltas.

Target user

Enterprise architects and digital-sovereignty officers at large European multinationals

Features
  • Connector to AWS, Azure, and GCP inventories that auto-classifies each workload by data sensitivity
  • Side-by-side comparison of EU-sovereign providers (Scaleway, OVHcloud, IONOS, Aruba) on capability and price
  • Phased migration plan with critical-path dependencies (ERP first, then CRM, then custom apps) and a risk register
  • Compliance delta report showing the CLOUD Act, FISA 702, and Schrems II exposure eliminated by each phase
Why now

Airbus's move of 900 apps to Scaleway just made digital sovereignty a board-level topic across Europe; every CIO will be asked for their plan in the next 12 months.

Demand
7/10

Airbus's confirmed migration of ~900 apps (70 critical first) from AWS to Scaleway, plus the European Commission's €180M Cloud Sovereignty Framework tender and Élysée-level backing, signals board-level demand rising now across European enterprises.Airbus Moves 70 Critical Apps from AWS to Scaleway in Sovereignty PushThe Commission moves forward on cloud sovereignty with a EUR 180 million tender

Whitespace
5/10

Deloitte and PwC both sell structured Sovereign Cloud Assessments (4-8 week engagements) on AWS Marketplace, and Big Four plus Accenture/Capgemini dominate this as consulting work; no pure SaaS-native sovereignty planner surfaced in search.AWS Marketplace: Deloitte Sovereign Cloud AssessmentAWS Marketplace: PwC Sovereign Cloud Assessment

Monetization
6/10

Enterprises already pay Big Four for 4-8 week sovereignty assessments, proving willingness to pay; however, buying is episodic and project-based rather than high-frequency SaaS seats, capping LTV.AWS Marketplace: Deloitte Sovereign Cloud AssessmentAWS Marketplace: PwC Sovereign Cloud Assessment

Longevity
8/10

Multi-year structural tailwind from NIS2, DORA, Schrems II, the EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework, and the EU Sovereign Cloud certification work — sovereignty is regulatory, not a passing hype.Cloud Sovereignty Framework - European CommissionAchieving Europe's Cloud and Data Sovereignty - Élysée

Feasibility
4/10

Requires deep inventory APIs across AWS/Azure/GCP, fragmented EU-sovereign alternatives (Scaleway, OVHcloud, Hetzner, T-Systems, IONOS, Arvato), and mapping to overlapping EU regs (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, EUCS) — non-trivial but buildable with regulatory + cloud partners.Cloud Service Equivalents: AWS, Azure, GCP & OCIAirbus moves critical apps off AWS to a French cloud - TNW
