Cognizant and Domyn Partner to Deliver Sovereign AI in EMEA
Cognizant and Domyn announced a strategic partnership to deliver sovereign AI solutions to regulated enterprises across the EMEA region. Domyn will supply chip-to-application sovereign AI infrastructure — including deployable LLMs, compute, governance and agents — that can run on-premise or in private cloud environments. Cognizant will provide application integration, adapt and train Domyn’s models into smaller domain-specific models (SLMs), build agents and industry-specific applications, and manage data pipelines and model alignment. The companies will pursue a joint go-to-market across UK & Ireland, DACH, Northern and Southern Europe and the Middle East. The deal targets organisations with strict data-sovereignty and regulatory requirements and aligns with Cognizant’s AI Builder strategy and Domyn’s mission to enable trusted, governed intelligence for regulated industries.
IBM Launches Self-Hosted Deployment for Bob AI Development
IBM announced self-hosted deployment for IBM Bob, its agentic software development platform, allowing enterprises to run AI-powered software development and modernization in on-premises, private cloud, sovereign cloud, and air-gapped environments. This addresses the need for data sovereignty, security, and governance, especially in regulated industries. The move responds to research indicating that hybrid and edge deployments will capture 44% of the AI infrastructure market by 2030. IBM Bob's self-hosted option allows organizations to bring AI to their data rather than moving sensitive code to external services. According to IBM's Institute for Business Value, 68% of executives find meeting data residency and sovereignty requirements challenging. The platform supports running licensed models on-premises and connecting to external model services via hybrid configurations.
Omada Launches Omada Identity Sovereign for Digital Sovereignty
Omada announced Omada Identity Sovereign, a containerized identity governance solution designed for regulated European organisations that require jurisdictional, operational and data control. The offering lets customers deploy and operate Omada’s identity governance software on infrastructure of their choice (own datacenters, sovereign clouds or partner-hosted environments) while retaining customer-controlled encryption and EU-based development and support. Omada says the product delivers full feature parity with Omada Identity Cloud, including AI-powered capabilities. The solution targets compliance with new European regulations (DORA, NIS2 and proposed Cloud and AI Development Act) and aims to help customers achieve SEAL-3 digital sovereignty. Omada Identity Sovereign is in development and targeted for availability in early 2027.
