Private AI · Sovereign migrations
AI and ITthat stay yours —as sovereign as you need.
Most businesses run fine on Microsoft or Google — and we'll tell you when that's the right call. But when you have a real reason to take your data back — a regulator, a client mandate, a risk you can't carry — we're the partner who can actually do it: private AI on infrastructure you control, and migrations to 100% European platforms like Infomaniak, Proton and OVH. Sovereignty is a ladder; we help you climb exactly as far as you need — and we're honest about the cost.

What we do
Our capabilities. One sovereign stack. One accountable partner.

Private, sovereign AI
Practical AI that never ships your data to a US cloud: a private assistant trained on your own documents, AI inside the Odoo you already run, and a sovereignty-&-AI audit to begin — on your infrastructure or European-hosted, with Mistral and open models you control. Automation and digital transformation come with it.

Is this you?
Who we're for — and who we're not.
A good fit if
- You have a real reason to control where your data lives — a regulator, a client mandate, sensitive information, or simply principle.
- You want one accountable person who tells you the truth — including when the cheaper or simpler option is the right one.
- You value privacy, clear documentation and independence over lock-in and vendor sales pitches.
Probably not us if
- You want the cheapest possible build and don't care how or where it runs.
- You need a large agency with a 24/7 call centre and dozens of seats.
- You'd rather not know where your data lives — because we will always tell you.
Start here
Book a free sovereignty & AI audit.
A focused, no-obligation review of where your data actually lives, what you genuinely control, and where private AI could pay off — ending in a clear, written set of next steps. The low-friction way to begin.
- Where your data and systems really sit — and who can reach them.
- Two or three concrete sovereignty and private-AI opportunities.
- A written summary and honest next steps — no slideware, no obligation.
How we work
A short, deliberate path from brief to done.
No bloated retainers or surprise scope. A clear sequence, with your sign-off before anything goes live.
Brief & direction
We learn your business, goals and constraints — then agree the scope, languages and a plan.
Plan & design
We design the solution and the approach, and tell you honestly what's worth doing — and what isn't.
Build to standard
We deliver to our standard: secure, documented and accessible — not just functional.
Review & sign-off
You review the real thing before anything goes live — no surprises at launch.
Run & support
We deploy, hand over documentation you fully own, and support it for the long term.
Why Solvetus
Why businesses choose us.
The same commitments on every engagement, whatever the technology.
5 languages, no middleman
Direct communication in English, Portuguese, French, Spanish and Italian — what you say is what gets built, with no account manager playing telephone.
25+ years of experience
Enterprise-grade thinking, applied at SME scale and price.
Your data, your rules
Privacy-respecting, sovereignty-conscious choices — open-source you control, European-hosted cloud, or Microsoft 365 where it genuinely fits.
European business fluency
GDPR, fiscal localization, eIDAS, multi-currency and multi-entity — how European businesses actually operate, not an afterthought.
Done right, documented
Clean documentation, tested configurations and a clear handover. Good IT work should outlast the people who did it.
Independent and honest
No resale quotas, no vendor kickbacks. We tell you what's genuinely worth doing — which rung of the sovereignty ladder you actually need, and when the simpler option wins — even when that's less work for us.
Proof & trust
Senior thinking, accountable delivery.
Enterprise-grade judgement at SME scale — sovereignty and privacy as defaults, not upsells.
A private AI assistant for a law firm — on OVH.
Trained on the firm's own documents, deployed on European infrastructure, reachable only by their team — nothing leaving their control. See exactly how a build like this comes together.
What we stand for
Four principles. The same on every engagement.
Solve, then simplify
Solvetus comes from the Latin solvere — to solve and to free. We untangle complexity and leave your technology simpler than we found it, never more tangled.
Privacy by default
Your data, and your customers' data, are not a product. Privacy-first and sovereignty-conscious choices come as standard — not on request.
Built to outlast us
Documented, tested, handed over. No lock-in and no mysteries — what we build keeps working without us in the room.
One accountable partner
No middleman and no finger-pointing. One team owns the outcome, end to end, in your language.
Questions
What people ask before starting.
What does Solvetus do?
We help businesses keep their technology theirs — planned, built and run on infrastructure you control, privacy-first, never locked inside a US hyperscaler. That spans the full stack: web development, security, IT administration & managed services, IT project management, fractional CIO, and private, sovereign AI — and we implement and support Odoo. One accountable partner across all of it, with deep European fluency — five languages, GDPR, eIDAS, fiscal localization — which we treat as an advantage, not a border.
Do you work with businesses my size?
Yes. We focus on European SMEs and founders, bringing enterprise-grade thinking to a scale and price that makes sense for growing businesses — from a single project to ongoing managed services or fractional CIO leadership.
Are you just one person?
Solvetus delivers through a mix of in-house work and trusted delivery partners. You get a single accountable point of contact and the capabilities and outcomes you need — without the overhead, or the distance, of a big agency.
Which languages do you work in?
English, Portuguese, French, Spanish and Italian — directly, with no translation layer between you and the people doing the work.
Where are you based, and who do you work with?
We're based in Portugal and work with clients worldwide, with a strong focus on Europe — where multilingual expertise and familiarity with how European businesses operate give us a genuine edge.
Will my data and systems stay private?
Privacy and sovereignty are defaults, not add-ons. We favour tools you control and European-hosted infrastructure, and use Microsoft 365 or other platforms where they genuinely fit — always with your long-term independence in mind.
