HCLSoftware has rolled out Domino 14.5, a major update to its enterprise collaboration suite, designed specifically for governments and regulated industries prioritizing data sovereignty, compliance, and digital independence. At the heart of this upgrade is Domino IQ, a sovereign AI extension that allows full control over AI models and sensitive data crucial for meeting strict regulatory requirements like the European AI Act and avoiding reliance on foreign cloud providers. “The importance of data sovereignty and avoiding unnecessary foreign government influence extends beyond SaaS solutions and AI,” said @RichardJefts , Executive VP and GM at @HCLSoftware . “With the launch of Domino+ 14.5, we’re helping over 200+ government agencies safeguard their sensitive data,” including email, chat, video recordings, and confidential documents. The new Domino+ suite also introduces enhanced secure messaging, meetings, and file sharing capabilities, offering ready-to-deploy tools for organizations that deal with classified or highly regulated information. The platform is hosted on IONOS, a trusted European cloud infrastructure provider. “True digital sovereignty is the key to Europe’s digital future,” said @achimweiss, CEO of @ionos_com , underscoring the partnership’s strategic importance. Domino 14.5 also achieves BSI certification for information security, integrates SEIM (Security Event and Incident Management) tools for real-time threat detection, and complies fully with the European Accessibility Act, ensuring inclusive digital experiences. With this release, HCLSoftware aims to become the go-to technology partner for the public sector and sensitive industries navigating the complexities of AI governance and secure digital collaboration.
