HCLSoftware, a global enterprise software leader, launched HCL Domino 14.5 on July 7 as a major upgrade, specifically targeting governments and organisations operating in regulated sectors that are concerned about data privacy and digital independence.
A key feature of the new release is Domino IQ, a sovereign AI extension built into the Domino platform. This new tool gives organisations full control over their AI models and data, helping them comply with regulations such as the European AI Act.
It also removes dependence on foreign cloud services, making it easier for public sector bodies and banks to protect sensitive information.
“The importance of data sovereignty and avoiding unnecessary foreign government influence extends beyond SaaS solutions and AI. Specifically for collaboration – the sensitive data within email, chat, video recordings and documents. With the launch of Domino+ 14.5, HCLSoftware is helping over 200+ government agencies safeguard their sensitive data,” said Richard Jefts, executive vice president and general manager at HCLSoftware
The updated Domino+ collaboration suite now includes enhanced features for secure messaging, meetings, and file sharing. These tools are ready to deploy and meet the needs of organisations that handle highly confidential data.
The platform is supported by IONOS, a leading European cloud provider. Achim Weiss, CEO of IONOS, added, “Today, more than ever, true digital sovereignty is the key to Europe’s digital future. That’s why at IONOS we are proud to provide the sovereign cloud infrastructure for HCL’s sovereign collaboration solutions.”
Other key updates in Domino 14.5 include achieving BSI certification for information security, the integration of security event and incident management (SEIM) tools to enhance threat detection and response, and full compliance with the European Accessibility Act, ensuring that all web-based user experiences are inclusive and accessible to everyone.
With the launch of Domino 14.5, HCLSoftware is aiming to be a trusted technology partner for public sector and highly regulated organisations seeking control, security, and compliance in their digital operations.
