ProjectConnect: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ProjectConnect is a project management platform for not-for-profit organisations and their partners. It covers project management, grant and fund management, partner management, monitoring and evaluation, and IATI reporting for donors. Features include partner contracts, Theory of Change, project financing, capacity planning and timesheets, outcome harvesting and online collaboration. The platform is modular and can be connected to other systems, apps and services. ProjectConnect is delivered as a cloud solution and targets organisations, their local partners and consortia.

The company is based in Gouda, the Netherlands. No foreign owner was found. The website mentions a secure cloud infrastructure but not in which country or with which provider the data is stored, so ask. The privacy statement describes processing under the GDPR and names, among others, a partner for the community platform around licences and an IT partner for support as processors. Self-hosting or an open-source licence is not mentioned.

Why digital sovereignty matters with ProjectConnect

ProjectConnect is headquartered in the Netherlands 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 ProjectConnect scores best on data residency.

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