Can Do: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Can Do is software for portfolio, project and resource management, aimed at mid-sized and large companies, with industry variants for mechanical and plant engineering, IT and software, and chemicals and pharma. It covers resource and skill management, portfolio and project planning, and controlling with risk assessment, supported by AI functions that spot resource bottlenecks and project risks. Can Do is sold as a subscription (SaaS) or run by the customer itself.

Can Do GmbH is based in Munich, Germany, and therefore falls under European law. The website does not say who owns the company. According to the vendor, the software runs in the customer's own data centre or private cloud, or in the public AWS cloud on servers in Frankfurt. In the latter case the infrastructure provider is a US company, which matters if you want to rule out access under US law. The vendor states that the product is GDPR-compliant and that customer data is not passed to public or third-party AI services. Ask which operating model fits your requirements.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Can Do

Can Do 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 Can Do scores best on data residency.

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