RIB BI+ (formerly datapine): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

RIB BI+ (formerly datapine) is a business intelligence platform from RIB Software, aimed at construction companies. A drag-and-drop interface lets you build dashboards without coding. Connectors combine data from multiple sources, and dashboard templates are available for the construction industry. The platform also offers real-time data with AI-based alerts for anomalies, queries across several databases, custom fields and automated reporting with role-based access. The datapine.com website now redirects to the RIB BI+ page.

RIB Software is headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. Since a takeover offer announced in 2020 it has belonged to the French group Schneider Electric, so the ultimate parent is also European. The product page does not state how the platform is delivered or where data is hosted, and it mentions no open-source edition. Before connecting sensitive company data, ask the vendor about the hosting location, the list of sub-processors and a data processing agreement.
