HISinOne (HIS eG): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

HISinOne is campus management software from HIS eG, a cooperative based in Hannover. It maps the core processes of universities and colleges, from application and enrolment through courses and examinations to doctoral studies and alumni, and includes a central portal, document management, identity and role management, and accessibility features. The software is offered as HIS-SaaS, a hosted service in which HIS takes over installation, maintenance and updates. The company describes itself as the software house of universities.

HIS eG is a German cooperative based in Hannover, so its owners are its members rather than an outside investor. For a European university or college, the German cooperative structure is relevant to digital sovereignty. The location of HIS-SaaS data centres and of any sub-processors should be confirmed in the contract. The cooperative's address is Goseriede 9 in Hannover.
