Driving Cloud Sovereignty in Europe, UpCloud and Sigma Software Join Forces 

We’re pleased to announce a new partnership with Sigma Software, a long-established technology consultancy with deep expertise in digital transformation, cloud engineering and regulated-industry solutions. Together, we’re strengthening the foundation for a more sovereign, secure and resilient European cloud ecosystem.

Data sovereignty, compliance and operational independence continue to shape how European organizations plan their cloud strategies. This partnership brings together Sigma Software’s capabilities in complex solution delivery with UpCloud’s European-built, Finnish-owned sovereign cloud platform, giving businesses a modern, compliant and high-performance foundation for their digital services.

Enabling secure and scalable cloud adoption

Through the partnership, Sigma Software’s clients gain access to UpCloud’s cloud infrastructure, engineered for consistent performance, reliability, and cost efficiency. With data centers across Europe and additional regions worldwide, UpCloud offers cloud-native services on proprietary-built infrastructure, designed from the ground up with security and sovereignty in mind.

Combined with Sigma Software’s experience delivering cloud and DevOps solutions in highly regulated sectors, the collaboration enables organizations to modernize their IT environments while remaining fully aligned with European legal and data governance requirements.

“I’m thrilled to announce our partnership with Sigma Software, a company that truly shares our vision for a European, sovereign cloud. Together with Sigma Software’s DevOps and Cloud Competence Center, we can deliver secure, resilient cloud environments that meet both business and regulatory requirements.”

Arno Schäfer, CEO at UpCloud

Sigma Software echoes this commitment to building long-term, sustainable cloud strategies for its customers.

“Partnering with UpCloud allows us to deliver cloud solutions that meet the highest standards of compliance and performance. This is a natural step in our strategy to support clients with sovereign, scalable environments that foster innovation and resilience.”

A partnership already creating value

The collaboration has already demonstrated tangible benefits for Sigma Software’s customers. One recent example is Inkufy, a Swedish company delivering workforce management solutions for public authorities and private organizations.

Inkufy’s new application handles sensitive operational data, including contract information and service providers’ personal details. To meet the project’s security and compliance expectations, Sigma Software designed a cloud architecture built on UpCloud, ensuring full alignment with EU data governance standards while providing the scalability needed for future growth.

Sigma Software and UpCloud continues to work closely with Inkufy, adding new functionality and preparing the application for its upcoming market launch.

Advancing a more sovereign digital Europe

UpCloud remains committed to strengthening Europe’s digital autonomy by enabling organizations to operate on secure and independently controlled cloud infrastructure. Our partnership with Sigma Software expands this mission and empowers more European businesses to move confidently to the cloud, without compromising on performance or sovereignty.

We look forward to working together to support organizations across industries as they modernize critical systems, adopt cloud-native technologies, and navigate increasingly complex compliance landscapes.
