Easescreen: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Easescreen is digital signage software for showing and managing content on screens, video walls, shelf displays and tablets. It is used in sectors such as retail, transport, finance, healthcare, education, hospitality and public authorities, from single installations to chain-store networks. Features include scheduling, design of multimedia content, support for more than 170 input formats, and modules for room booking, desk sharing and queuing. According to the vendor, it can be deployed on-premises or online, and the online option is offered as SaaS directly or through a partner.

Easescreen is developed in Graz, Austria, with a site in Vienna and a US entity in Florida. The website imprint names Pichler Medientechnik e.U. in Graz as holder of the exclusive sales franchise; no parent company is named. The software is proprietary. With the on-premises option, data can stay on the organisation's own infrastructure. For the SaaS variant the vendor states no hosting location, so organisations should check it, together with sub-processors.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Easescreen

Easescreen is headquartered in AT 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 Easescreen scores best on data residency.

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