AnywhereNow: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

AnywhereNow, formerly Anywhere365, offers a Microsoft-native platform for customer dialogues and workflows, with voice and digital channels, contact centre functions and AI features. The company describes its products as built natively on Teams, Azure and Unify. It has renamed itself AnywhereNow, and its website now runs at anywhere.now. The offer is delivered as software as a service to enterprise customers.

The company describes itself as a Netherlands-headquartered provider founded in 2010, with its address in Rotterdam. The website does not state where customer data is hosted, and its privacy information is published as separate policy documents. For a European organisation, a contracting party based in the Netherlands and subject to EU data protection law is a relevant starting point, but the hosting location and any sub-processors outside the EU should be confirmed in the contract documentation before deployment.

Why digital sovereignty matters with AnywhereNow

AnywhereNow is headquartered in NL 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 AnywhereNow scores best on data residency.

AnywhereNow 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 AnywhereNow together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
