Scaling digital sovereignty solutions from small businesses to multinational corporations.
Next generation software
Sovereign cloud and no-code CRM for Canada and Europe
Software, CRM and consulting since 2003. Our two operating companies host what we build: cloud&more Inc. in Canada, oceans GmbH in Europe.
Charting a Course to Digital Freedom
Just as our planet's oceans hold infinite potential yet face unprecedented threats, the digital realm offers boundless opportunities. What matters is who holds control.
Your Partner in Digital Sovereignty
oceans next generation Inc. in Moncton writes the software and advises on digital strategy and CRM. cloud&more Inc. hosts it on hardware we own in Canada. oceans GmbH in Grimma serves customers in Europe under EU law.
Residency is where the servers sit. That's an address. Sovereignty is three questions: Who owns it? Whose law can reach it? Can you leave? Location alone scores zero.
Our mission has not changed: giving organizations control over their data. We sell sovereign cloud and confidential AI. So our test has to apply to us first.
Three Questions, Our Answers
oceans next generation Inc. is 100% Canadian-owned and owns 100% of oceans GmbH in Germany. No US parent, no US investors, no hyperscaler behind us.
Each client contracts with a company in their own jurisdiction, and their data is processed and stored there, on dedicated bare metal that no one else shares. No shared hyperscaler cloud, anywhere.
Canadian clients contract with cloud&more in Canada. Everything we run for them is on hardware we own, under Canadian control.
European clients contract with oceans GmbH, a German company under German and EU law. Their data is processed and stored in Germany, on bare-metal servers dedicated exclusively to us by a German data centre partner.
Clients in the United States contract with cloud&more today. Their data is processed and stored in the United States, on bare-metal servers dedicated to us.
Who owns the company, who owns the hardware, whose law can reach it and what leaving costs: in writing, in every offer.
Open source and open standards, on infrastructure we control. You get the exit cost and the exit time from us in writing.

Three Questions Make Sovereignty Measurable
Residency is where the data sleeps. Sovereignty is who can wake it up. Everyone wants sovereignty. Nobody scores it. These three questions apply to every contract that touches sensitive data.
Who owns it?
The operator and its anchor tenants, traced to the beneficial owner.
Whose law can reach it?
Can any foreign law force the operator, its parent or its tenant to hand over data held in Canada?
Can you leave?
Without a rebuild. With open standards, and an exit cost and an exit time, in writing.
And your AI?
GPUs in Canada are not sovereign AI. Ask who controls the model, the training data, the prompts and the logs.
