Tryton: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Tryton is business software for companies of various sizes, covering accounting, sales, inventory and manufacturing. It is delivered as software that organisations install and run on their own servers, and the project offers a demo server. The project describes the software as 100 per cent open source; the website does not name the licence.

Development is coordinated by the Tryton Foundation, a private foundation under Belgian law with its seat in Liège, Belgium. The vendor's public pages do not identify a commercial owner of the software. An organisation that runs Tryton on its own infrastructure keeps control over where its data is stored; the location of the demo server and of any service providers named on the site is not stated.
