[ENG] Digital Sovereignty by Design
Digital sovereignty is the biggest topic right now, but true digital sovereignty cannot happen without the freedoms of open source software. Let's look at what digital sovereignty really is and how you and your agency can become providers of true "digital sovereignty by design." We'll look at how digital sovereignty affects different CMS users depending on size and financial strength, and how choosing an open source CMS can be one of the keys to greater independence. How do you talk about digital sovereignty? Some voices make it seem like controlling your data is everything. We often hear this from proprietary vendors, whose only solution is to restrict the conversation, because digital sovereignty challenges their business model. Delivering digital sovereignty requires understanding how to cope with your own digital sovereignty challenges. In the future, you’ll be advising your clients and choose the right kind of pragmatism.
