giftdetect· the right gift in minutesSAP subsidiary Delos wants to launch its cloud platform for the German state in early 2027. The company describes the offering as "sovereign" and says it is designed specifically for public-sector customers in Germany.
According to the current status, certification processes are still running. The planned start in early 2027 therefore depends on those audits being completed.
A contested project
The project is controversial. The term "sovereign" is at the heart of the debate: critics question how independent a cloud can really be when it is built by a subsidiary of a large software group. Delos itself promises a platform tailored to the needs of German authorities.
Why it matters
For public administrations, the question of where data is stored and who controls the infrastructure is a central issue in procurement decisions. A dedicated state cloud from a German vendor would add another option to a market that is currently shaped largely by international providers.
Whether Delos can convince its prospective customers will depend on the outcome of the certifications and on the concrete conditions of the offering, which have yet to be detailed. The first indication will come when the audits conclude and the launch date approaches.
