Xentral: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Xentral describes itself as the Business Operation Platform for SMBs. It is an ERP system aimed at small and medium-sized companies, used to run operational and administrative business processes on one platform. The product is offered by Xentral ERP Software GmbH, whose legal notice gives an address in Augsburg. The vendor's website does not describe in detail how the software is deployed, so customers should check this point during evaluation.

According to its imprint, the company is seated in Augsburg and registered at the local court there. The site does not name a parent company or shareholders, and it does not describe where customer data is hosted. The privacy page names Amazon Web Services as hosting provider for the website, with the server stated to be in Germany and processing within the EU. That statement concerns the public website, not the ERP product, so hosting and sub-processors for the product should be confirmed in a processing agreement.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Xentral

Xentral is headquartered in DE 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 Xentral scores best on data residency.

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