Ismaning, 15. January 2026 – The msg group has announced today the official launch of its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) regarding the European Sovereign Cloud. By doing this, msg is clearly signaling its commitment to digital sovereignty in Europe while further solidifying its position as a top provider of cloud solutions in the European market.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud has been specifically designed for organizations that have stringent requirements for data residency and operational independence, such as public entities, government bodies, and regulated sectors. It operates entirely within the European Union, overseen by EU personnel, and adheres to the highest standards of data protection, security, and regulatory compliance. This enables customers to confidently manage their most sensitive workloads without restrictions, enjoying the same performance, availability, and pace of innovation as they would in existing AWS regions.
To facilitate customers in easily acquiring and swiftly utilizing the solutions developed by msg for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, the AWS Marketplace for AWS European Sovereign Cloud will serve a pivotal role for msg.
Key benefits for customers:
- Adherence to the most stringent standards for data residency, protection, and reliability
- Operational independence through operation, governance and management solely within the EU
- Handling of sensitive workloads with the established security, and performance of AWS
A key element of the collaboration: msg.CodIQ, the AI-driven legal assistant from the msg group, which has been strategically placed in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud from the outset and is being gradually integrated. In this manner, msg facilitates and accelerates digital transformation initiatives – confidently, efficiently, and with a forward-looking perspective. Moreover, we view the expanding AWS European Sovereign Cloud landscape as a chance to broaden our offerings in the future to encompass areas like IT consulting, migrations, managed services, operations, and software development.
"We are excited to introduce our AI assistant msg.CodIQ to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud from the outset. This collaboration enhances Europe's digital sovereignty and underscores our dedication to secure and robust cloud solutions. The AWS Marketplace for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a crucial element for us at msg in our AWS European Sovereign Cloud journey," states Patrick Brauckmann, Executive Vice President msg Public Sector.
"The msg group is actively participating in realizing our vision of a sovereign European cloud," adds Nina Kunkel, Senior Manager DACH Partners at AWS. "Together, we empower organizations in Europe to combine innovation with the highest levels of security, compliance and data governance."
By committing to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, the msg group is making a strategic statement: for a sovereign digital Europe, for reliable cloud infrastructures, and for technological excellence. The official launch signifies the start of a deeper collaboration that will establish new benchmarks in the European cloud ecosystem.
