19. Questions & Answers Q1. Why should we care about sovereignty — isn’t it just politics? • Sovereignty isn’t ideology anymore; it’s the next billion-euro market. • After cloud, AI, and cybersecurity, sovereignty is the next frontier where value will be created — because every public institution and regulated industry in Europe is being forced to regain control of its data, infrastructure, and AI models. Q2. But we’re already reselling others vendors. Why change what works? • Because fighting on U.S. vendor pricing means fighting with less margin and less strategic relevance. Partners who sell sovereignty sell trust, innovation, and independence. And trust has better margins than licenses. Q3. Can we start today, or is this just a roadmap? • You can start tomorrow morning. • Yes, you can resell HCL Software licenses today. • Yes, you can resell the Belsoft Collaborative Platform on sovereign European cloud tomorrow. • We already have the stack, the certifications, and the clients. The door is open. Q4. What’s in it for us, concretely? • Sovereign Cloud Hosting = recurring local revenue you own. • Domino Workspace Migration = high-value services and integration projects. • Sovereign AI Enablement = consulting and implementation revenue. • You build, you can host, integrate, and advise. You own the customer relationship end to end. Q5 I am a domino client / Domino Partner, should I consider this? • Yes absolutely, you can contact us to discover the journey that’s available to you.
