Pigment announces its deployment on the sovereign PREMI3NS infrastructure operated by S3NS, a subsidiary controlled by Thales. This availability makes Pigment the first EPM solution accessible on a European cloud qualified under SecNumCloud 3.2, the highest level of cloud security certification in France.
This announcement marks a strategic milestone for finance departments and organisations operating in regulated or sensitive environments.
A response to growing sovereignty requirements
EPM platforms centralise critical data: strategic plans, budgets, forecasts, transformation scenarios and consolidated data.
For many public institutions, industrial companies, financial groups and organisations in regulated sectors, hosting this data in the cloud now requires:
national governance,
legal protection against extraterritorial laws,
enhanced regulatory compliance,
a high level of certified cybersecurity.
The S3NS infrastructure meets these requirements. It is operated exclusively by European personnel and hosted in data centres located in France. The SecNumCloud 3.2 qualification provides an independent assurance of security, governance and protection against the risks of foreign interference.
Modernising financial performance management without compromise
With this availability on S3NS, Pigment provides access to modern financial planning for organisations previously constrained by sovereignty requirements.
Finance departments can therefore:
Deploy budgeting and forecasting processes in a sovereign environment
Centralise their strategic data within a legally protected framework
Benefit from advanced analytics and artificial intelligence capabilities
Maintain the performance, scalability and agility inherent to cloud-native architectures
This approach aims to remove a major barrier to the adoption of cloud EPM solutions in regulated environments.
A strategic position in the European market
At a time when digital sovereignty is becoming a fundamental issue for public policy and corporate strategy, this initiative positions Pigment as a pioneering player in sovereign financial performance management.
According to Romain Niccoli, co-CEO of Pigment, organisations should not have to choose between technological innovation and data sovereignty. This partnership is specifically designed to reconcile these two imperatives.
Towards a new standard for EPM in Europe?
The accessibility of a next-generation EPM platform on a SecNumCloud-qualified infrastructure could accelerate the digital transformation of European finance departments.
It offers an alternative to solutions hosted outside European jurisdiction, while avoiding the performance limitations historically associated with sovereign environments.
With Pigment now deployed on S3NS, organisations with strict security and compliance requirements now have a cloud-native option aligned with their regulatory constraints.
