Bringing AI and cloud innovation to Europe’s most regulated industries with Arvato Systems and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud

Arvato Systems, part of Bertelsmann Group, has spent more than a decade building a strategic partnership with AWS to help organizations in highly regulated sectors harness the full potential of the cloud. Working across healthcare, energy, and the public sector, the company supports customers as they transform their infrastructure, applications, and operations—always with digital sovereignty at the forefront. As Moeller puts it, “Digital sovereignty is an absolute priority for our own systems, and even more so for our customers.” That principle shapes how Arvato Systems approaches every modernization initiative: innovation is essential, but control is non-negotiable.

Nowhere is that balance more critical than in healthcare, one of Arvato Systems’ core industries. According to Moeller, the company’s healthcare customers’ priorities are “patient data security, system availability, and compliance with strict regulatory requirements.” Organizations want to use their data to unlock AI, accelerate insight, and innovate—but they must do so without compromising control. “AWS European Sovereign Cloud allows us to offer solutions that are not only innovative,” Moeller says, “but also trusted and fully compliant, which is exactly what the markets expect.”

A launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud in Germany, Moeller sees the sovereign cloud as a pivotal development for healthcare modernization. “The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a real game changer,” he says, “because it fundamentally changes what’s possible in healthcare and other regulated industries.” For organizations that have long balanced innovation with strict sovereignty requirements, this new cloud model opens the door to digital capabilities that were previously out of reach.

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud “provides a dedicated, independent infrastructure in Europe with strong guarantees around data residency and operational autonomy,” says Moeller—exactly the assurances regulated industries depend on. “It also aligns with initiatives like the European Health Data Space,” he adds, “which is about enabling secure and interoperable use of health data across Europe.” This helps Arvato Systems create the environment healthcare organizations need to innovate responsibly in the cloud.
