ALLPLAN: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ALLPLAN is a BIM and CAD platform for architecture, engineering and construction teams, covering work from early design to construction-ready documentation. Related products include SDS2 for steel detailing and tools for precast production, and Bimplus provides cloud collaboration on project models and data. The software is installed on workstations and combined with cloud services for team coordination.

ALLPLAN GmbH has its registered seat in Munich, Germany, and is part of the Nemetschek Group. The legal notice names German managing directors, so both the operator and the owner are European. Where Bimplus data is stored is not stated on the public website, so customers should request this together with the data processing terms. The core software is proprietary and not open source, so organisations depend on the vendor for updates and file-format access.

Why digital sovereignty matters with ALLPLAN

ALLPLAN is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so ALLPLAN scores best on data residency.

ALLPLAN is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs ALLPLAN together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
