NGDATA Lily: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

NGDATA Lily is the customer data platform from the Belgian company NGDATA, which focuses mainly on banks, insurers and other financial services providers. Lily builds a single view of each customer from online and offline interactions, keeps a profile per person with many scored attributes, and supports segmentation, next-best-offer recommendations and orchestration of messages across physical and digital channels, using machine learning and real-time analytics. According to KuppingerCole, the platform can be used on premises, in the cloud or as a managed service. NGDATA's website now calls the product the Intelligent Engagement Platform.

NGDATA N.V. is headquartered in Ghent, with offices in places including New York and Pune. A Belgian company is subject to European law, and no foreign parent company is documented. The sources consulted do not say in which region the cloud service is hosted; record that and any supporting sub-processors in the data processing agreement. With an on-premises deployment you keep the data under your own control.

Why digital sovereignty matters with NGDATA Lily

NGDATA Lily is headquartered in BE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

NGDATA Lily hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

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