# Sovereign Digital Workplace — exit Big-Tech cloud via public tenderA public body replaces its Big-Tech cloud office with a Gaia-X-aligned, self-hosted workplace — email, collaboration, messaging, calls — procured via an open EU/WTO tender and handed over to the in-house team.

A public authority — or a sovereignty-minded enterprise — decides its email, files, chat and calls should no longer live in a Big-Tech cloud outside its control. The goal: a **Gaia-X-aligned, self-hosted digital workplace** — the same user experience, data inside the perimeter, no lock-in. Because it is public money above the EU/WTO thresholds, the route runs through an **open public tender**.
