HCLSoftware, the global enterprise software leader, launched HCL Domino 14.5 as a major upgrade on July 7th. In particular, it targeted governments and organizations operating in the regulatory sector, which are concerned about data privacy and digital independence.
A key feature in the new release is Domino IQ, a sovereign AI extension built into the Domino platform. This new tool will help organizations comply with regulations such as European AI Act with full control over their AI models and data.
It also removes dependence on foreign cloud services, making it easier for public sector institutions and banks to protect sensitive information.
“The importance of data sovereignty and avoiding unnecessary foreign government impacts extend beyond SaaS solutions and AI. With the launch of Domino+ 14.5, Hclsoftware is helping over 200 government agencies protect sensitive data.
The updated Domino+ Collaboration Suite includes extensions for secure messaging, meetings and file sharing. These tools are ready to deploy and meet the needs of organizations that process highly sensitive data.
The platform is supported by Ionos, a leading European cloud provider. “Today, more than ever, true digital sovereignty is the key to Europe's digital future. So, at Ionos, we are proud to be able to provide sovereign cloud infrastructure for HCL's sovereign collaboration solutions.”
Other important updates to Domino 14.5 include achieving BSI certification for information security, integration of security event and incident management (SEIM) tools to enhance threat detection and response, and full compliance with European accessibility laws, ensuring that all web-based user experiences are comprehensive and accessible to everyone.
With the launch of Domino 14.5, HCLSoftware aims to become a trusted technology partner for the public sector and highly regulated organizations seeking control, security and compliance in digital operations.
