Bell Canada and SAP Canada announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly deliver a comprehensive Canadian‑operated cloud solution designed to meet high data protection standards and strengthen Canada’s digital sovereignty.

...

The partnership will combine Bell AI Fabric’s secure national network, compute, and data center footprint with SAP’s Sovereign Cloud On-Site (SCOS) solution and Canadian‑based operations team. Together, the companies aim to deliver a trusted, fully-Canadian, isolated cloud alternative for the public sector and regulated industries that require strict control over sensitive information and mission-critical workloads.

...

The solution intends to ensure sensitive government, citizen, and organizational data remain within Canadian borders, shielded from extra-territorial access. Delivered by security-credentialed personnel in specialized facilities, the platform aims to support compliance with data residency and sovereignty requirements while helping customers modernize applications, adopt cloud services, and drive innovation and AI adoption.

...

SAP Canada is also integrating Cohere’s leading enterprise-grade AI platform into SAP Sovereign Cloud to deliver a unique integrated sovereign offering. Along with Bell AI Fabric, Cohere empowers Canadian organizations to harness the power of AI while ensuring their sensitive information, AI models, and agents stay firmly within their control.
