apollon OMN: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Online Media Net (OMN) is apollon's omnichannel marketing system for retailers, manufacturers and other organisations that manage product data and media centrally. It combines Product Information Management (PIM), Digital Asset Management (DAM), Channel Management and Workflow Management, so product information and images are maintained once and distributed to web shops, marketplaces, social media and print. OMN also offers AI functions for images, text and translation, plus a REST API for connecting existing systems. It can be used as SaaS, as a licence with hosting, or on-premises.

apollon GmbH+Co. KG is based in Pforzheim, Germany, and belongs to the M+M group; no foreign parent is named. In the SaaS model, OMN runs according to the vendor in a Frankfurt am Main data centre of Amazon Web Services. With hosting, apollon can also operate it in Frankfurt, and on-premises you keep full control of infrastructure and data. Because AWS belongs to a US group, organisations with strict jurisdiction requirements may prefer on-premises.
