Next generation software
Sovereign cloud and no-code CRM for Canada and Europe
Navigate the digital ocean safely with 20+ years of expertise in secure CRM/BRM, sovereign cloud hosting, and data protection for Canada and 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 brings digital sovereignty to Canada and Europe. We are your partner on both continents, making sure your data stays under your control.
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
Who owns it?
oceans next generation Inc. is 100% Canadian-owned. It owns 100% of oceans GmbH in Germany, which is controlled from Canada.
Whose law can reach it?
Your data stays in your jurisdiction, on hardware we own. Canadian clients contract with cloud&more in Canada, and everything we run for them is controlled in Canada, only in Canada. Clients in Europe contract with oceans GmbH; their data is processed and stored in Europe, on our own bare metal. Clients in the United States contract with cloud&more; their data is processed and stored in the United States, on our own bare metal. Who owns it, whose law can reach it and what leaving costs: in writing, in every offer.
Can you leave?
Open source and open standards, on Nextcloud and on hardware we own. You get the exit cost and the exit time from us in writing.
🌱 Environmental Impact
With optimized hosting on hardware we own, we cut the digital carbon footprint substantially.

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.
