Milient: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Milient is a cloud software provider from Oslo that combines project management, time tracking, resource planning and knowledge management. Its project tools cover the workflow from offer to invoicing, and the website names architects, engineers, IT consultants, IT departments and professional services as its target groups. The website does not mention an open-source version or a self-hosted option.

Milient Software AS is based in Oslo, Norway, and the privacy policy also names Milient Software AB in Linköping, Sweden. The company is owned by Monterro, a growth investor headquartered in Stockholm. Ownership therefore sits with an investor in another EU Member State rather than in the United States. The privacy policy states that personal data is processed internally and by sub-processors, and it lists HubSpot and Microsoft as EU-based. The location where customer project data is hosted is not stated and should be confirmed with the supplier.
