A Strategic Alliance for Data Sovereignty: STACKIT, empiriecom, and adesso Launch German End-to-End Ecosystem for E-Commerce

For online retailers and their customers, this means: all data and shop processes remain securely in Germany, protected by the strict requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation. This enables companies to provide their customers with the highest level of trust and digital security.

Data Sovereignty as a Strategic Necessity

In the face of regulatory hurdles and geopolitical instability, data sovereignty is becoming the focus of entrepreneurial activity. “Our partnership offers a reliable and secure alternative to the solutions offered by international hyperscalers and software providers,” explains empiriecom Managing Director Ralf Männlein. “This addresses the growing demand for sovereign data security, performance, and legal compliance in digital commerce.”

“Digital independence is no longer an optional feature but a strategic necessity,” emphasises Bernie Wagner, CEO of STACKIT and Executive Vice President at Schwarz Digits. The ‘German Digital Commerce Operation Model’ brings the expertise of three market leaders together into a seamless overall solution.

Unique End-to-End Ecosystem

All three partners deliver maximum data sovereignty, relying exclusively on products developed, hosted, and operated in Germany. This is a feature rarely matched by other providers. Their offering combines the software solutions of each technology company, seamlessly integrated into a single cohesive package.
