Sovereignty you own, not rent

A sovereign cloud still hands your data to someone. OxiMail doesn’t have to.

Mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, a web client and an AI assistant — the Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace set, run on your own infrastructure, in your jurisdiction. No US dependency. The operator can be you, and no one else. And if you have no ops team, we deploy it for you.

Who it’s for

For organisations that can’t outsource their sovereignty.

Public bodies & administrations

Cantonal, communal, national — where data residency and independence from US hyperscalers is policy, not a preference.

Hospitals & health networks

Clinical data touches mail. Audit, retention, and on-premise or sovereign hosting are non-negotiable.

Universities & research

Federated identity, large account counts, a strong data-sovereignty stance.

SMEs — through our partners

Law firms, fiduciaries, medical practices: sovereign mail and collaboration, run by a trusted local partner.

The sovereign-cloud trap

A datacenter in Europe is not sovereignty.

Bleu runs on Azure. S3NS runs on Google. Delos runs on Microsoft. A “Swiss cloud” still puts your data in a hoster’s hands. In every case there is a third-party operator — and an operator can be subpoenaed, pressured, sanctioned. In 2025 a prosecutor’s mailbox was cut off under foreign sanctions. The lesson is not “pick a European datacenter.” It is: as long as someone else holds your data, your sovereignty depends on their goodwill.

Why now

The mandate is here — and the migration has already started.

Public bodies across Europe are being told to leave the US hyperscalers, not asked. French administrations are moving off US collaboration tools; German data-protection authorities have ruled against Microsoft 365 in schools; a German state is migrating tens of thousands of workstations to open source; the EU funds alternatives through its Next Generation Internet programme; Switzerland tightened the FADP. The budget is allocated and the direction is set.

And the organisations already moving to Linux, LibreOffice and Thunderbird hit the same wall: the OS, the documents and the files have sovereign answers — mail, calendar and contacts do not. OxiMail is that missing answer.

What you get

Ten separate systems, collapsed into one.

Most organisations run a different product — and a different server, login and bill — for email, calendar, contacts, files, chat, tasks and more. OxiMail folds them into a single backend you operate. Available today: mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, a web client, file sync and an AI assistant. On a clearly-labelled roadmap: a file-server replacement, video and email security — never sold as shipped before they are.

Mail, calendar, contacts, tasks

The daily collaboration suite — modern and fast, on phones and desktops. Available today.

A web client your people open every morning

Workspace: mail, calendar, contacts, files and chat behind one sign-in. Available today.

An AI assistant, on your terms

Over your own mail and calendar — local, sovereign-EU or connected. You choose the jurisdiction. Available today.

Works with the tools you already use

Outlook, Thunderbird, mobile mail/calendar/contacts apps connect out of the box.

The alternatives

A CIO who must leave Microsoft goes looking. The shelf is nearly empty.

The budget is allocated, the mandate is issued — and there is no other complete, self-hostable, modern sovereign suite.

Leaner — and greener

One lean binary instead of a sprawling stack.

A traditional mail stack runs seven services and eats 10 to 18 GB of RAM. OxiMail does the same job as a single program in 2 to 4 GB. For the same mailboxes that means a fraction of the compute servers — and the electricity and cooling to match. (Storage scales with your mail either way; the saving is in compute, not your data.) A sovereign stack that also lightens your footprint — and helps you meet the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2023/1791) and green-procurement criteria.

Why you can trust it

A small footprint, a clear jurisdiction, nothing hidden.

Made in Switzerland

Built by Activate sàrl in Geneva. A Swiss company, under Swiss jurisdiction.

FADP & GDPR by design

Your data stays in your jurisdiction, on infrastructure you control.

Zero US dependency

No hyperscaler underneath. Nothing in the stack can be compelled by a foreign order.

Open and auditable

The core is AGPL open source, built on open standards — no lock-in, inspectable by anyone.

And we deploy it for you

No ops team required: we install, harden, migrate and hand it over. You own and operate it.

We run it ourselves

Activate runs its own company mail and collaboration on OxiMail. We depend on it daily — we’d be the first to know if it dropped a message.
