Achieving digital sovereignty

Digital sovereignty is not merely a characteristic of software. It arises from strategic decisions regarding how digital infrastructure is selected, operated and further developed.Public contracting authorities lay down important framework conditions as early as the tender specifications: To what extent can a solution be integrated into existing infrastructures? What options are there for switching providers? And what scope for action will remain in the long term?
