Systematic Columna: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Systematic A/S is a software company headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark. Its healthcare offering is built around Columna CIS, an electronic medical record that the company describes as a tool to optimise physician productivity and effectiveness. The Columna range also includes Columna Flow, a suite for optimising complex workflows, and Columna Cura, a social and care record for documentation in municipal care. The product pages are aimed at clinicians and care organisations.

The product pages do not state whether Columna runs as a hosted service or on the customer's own infrastructure, nor where patient data is stored. The legal entity, Systematic A/S, is headquartered in Denmark and is therefore subject to EU data protection law. Organisations in other EU countries should request the deployment model, the hosting location and the processor terms before procurement. The software is not presented as open source.
