Digital Sovereignty:One Data Calls for Serious Examination of European Alternatives to Palantir

In the current debate about the use of U.S. software Palantir by German authorities, One Data emphasizes that there are powerful, secure, and data protection–compliant alternatives from Germany. CEO Andreas Böhm calls on policymakers and public administrations to provide stronger support for domestic solutions.

Passau, August 2025 – The software company One Data is urging policymakers and public administrations to take Germany’s digital sovereignty seriously and to rely on European alternatives when selecting analytics platforms. With its platform, One Data offers a solution that guarantees data protection, transparency, and full data sovereignty – representing a genuine alternative to Palantir.

Andreas Böhm, CEO of One Data, explains:
“It is long overdue for Germany not only to demand digital sovereignty but also to implement it. With One Data, we have created a platform that can connect data sources from a wide range of systems – securely, transparently, and fully under government control. We use open standards and modular interfaces, ensuring that authorities retain full data sovereignty at all times. Anyone who continues to claim that there is no alternative to Palantir is ignoring reality and undermining trust in government IT systems.”

One Data is calling on policymakers to finally take concrete steps to reduce dependency on monolithic U.S. systems. This requires binding legal requirements that prioritize digital sovereignty and European solutions in public tenders, transparent and fair procurement procedures that foster competition and innovation, and targeted support for domestic providers. Only in this way can Germany ensure an independent, data protection-compliant, and future-proof IT infrastructure for security and public
administration.
