IT sovereignty more important than ever: community4you sees trend toward digital resilience among European fleet decision-makers
Fleet safety – until now, this has almost always meant driver safety. But data sovereignty and technological sovereignty are now playing an increasingly important role. The biggest driver of this development is transatlantic tensions.
For decades, US tech companies have set the tone, shaping international standards and promising technological carefreeness that Europe was only too happy to embrace. Geopolitical conflicts and fragile trade relations make it clear that this one-sided orientation has become a strategic risk.
community4you AG, a European specialist in fleet and leasing management, is currently observing a turning point in demand: the issue of technological sovereignty has moved from IT departments directly into the boardroom.
Digital compliance and diversification in fleet management
For far too long, we in Europe have relied on transatlantic relations as an immutable constant. Now, people everywhere are rightly asking: What are our European alternatives? Diversification and securing our own capacity to act are playing an increasingly important role in this regard.
Many companies today suffer from vendor lock-in: they are highly dependent on individual services and cannot simply switch overnight. They are at the mercy of their infrastructure. In the fleet sector, we help companies and institutions break these dependencies and regain control – but these are processes that must be initiated before the worst-case scenario occurs. New guidelines such as NIS2 and DORA increase the urgency of making software architecture an urgent commercial necessity.
TCO optimization and operational excellence without system discontinuities
However, European tech alternatives must be measured not only in terms of security aspects, but above all in terms of their performance. After all, true sovereignty only arises when security and operational excellence go hand in hand. With its comm.fleet product line, Community4you offers a range and depth of functions that is unique on the market, enabling all aspects of mobility to be mapped in a central system – without any system breaks or confusing isolated solutions.
For mobility decision-makers, this means a new level of control and efficiency:
- Centralization instead of data silos: Integrating all processes eliminates error-prone multiple data maintenance, which increases transparency and reduces operating costs.
- Mapping complex structures: Thanks to consistent multi-client capability and powerful interfaces, the software can map even the most difficult organizational structures—from cooperatives to corporations in which central subsidiaries manage the vehicle fleet.
- Unlimited flexibility: The system masters the challenges of the international market “natively.” Multilingualism, different tax laws, and local legal frameworks are an integral part of the software logic.
- Freedom of choice in hosting: As an additional security factor, community4you continues to offer the option of on-premise operation in addition to modern cloud solutions. This allows companies to retain physical control over their IT infrastructure.
Investment protection through an established European technology platform
Twenty-five years ago, we made a conscious decision to go it alone. Our technology is an architecture that has been tried and tested over decades and has matured to become the backbone of some of the most complex fleet structures in Europe today. We are currently seeing very clearly that trust in transatlantic reliability is being replaced by a new self-confidence: mobility decision-makers are specifically looking for partners whose values and locations offer a reliable home for their data. With our sovereign ‘Made in Europe’ platform, we are providing an answer that is more relevant today than ever before.
