Strategic Partnership to Expand European Trusted Cloud with Hybrid Architecture for Secure AI at Scale

WATERLOO, Ontario, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OpenText™ (NASDAQ/TSX: OTEX), a global leader in data management for enterprise AI, today announced a strategic partnership with S3NS, an alliance between Thales, a French leader in cybersecurity in Europe, and Google Cloud, to bring European organizations a trusted cloud platform based on Google Cloud technology, that meets the highest security and compliance criteria in France to offer strict data residency, regulatory compliance, and operational controls.

The partnership delivers a hybrid trusted cloud architecture for Europe out of France, enabling organizations to keep their most sensitive data workloads within a locally governed environment, while securely leveraging hyperscaler cloud services for non-sensitive workloads, innovation, and scale.

This approach is designed to preserve full interoperability with global cloud platforms, ensuring French and European organizations can continue to benefit from hyperscaler innovation while meeting local regulatory obligations.

The OpenText and S3NS trusted cloud capabilities meet stringent regulatory and operational requirements, leveraging OpenText’s operational and security experience from delivering government-grade cloud environments in multiple jurisdictions including FedRAMP-authorized, IRAP-assessed, and Protected B-aligned deployments and based on S3NS SecNumCloud qualified Platform, PREMI3NS, to create a hybrid trusted cloud offering designed specifically for France’s regulatory and jurisdictional requirements. This enables organizations in highly regulated industries, such as those managing sensitive citizen, patient, or financial data, to adopt cloud services while maintaining full compliance and control.

With additional solutions to be evaluated for inclusion over time, the initial hybrid sovereign offering will include:

Dedicated Private Cloud: OpenText™ Content Management and Documentum Content Management for highly sensitive data.
Sovereign SaaS: OpenText™ Core Archive for SAP® Solutions offered as a multi-tenant service with European data residency.
Regulatory Compliance: Supports GDPR, SecNum 3.2, and other European data sovereignty requirements.

“Data governance and regulatory alignment are foundational to digital trust for regulated organizations,” said Shannon Bell, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Information Officer, OpenText. “Across Europe, organizations are seeking innovation that preserves sovereignty and control. OpenText is delivering on that need by pairing hyperscaler innovation with an independently governed operating model, giving customers the confidence to modernize while keeping their data, access, and operations securely under regional control.”
