Europe’s sovereign alternative to Jira and Confluence
Control over your workflows, data, and costs has been quietly slipping away. Sovara gives it back. Guaranteed migration from standard Jira setups — or your money back.
Built on rready’s proven enterprise experience:
sovara is built for enterprises and public-sector organizations - designed so you decide how work runs, how data is handled, and how your systems evolve.
Sovereign by design
Your data is stored and processed under European jurisdiction - aligned with regulatory requirements and independent from non-EU providers.
Competitive pricing
Lean architecture reduces overhead - avoiding pricing surprises and forced upgrades.
Future-ready platform
AI is changing the way we work. Sovara gives you the foundation to evolve with it – AI-native, API-first, and modular by design.
Why now?
Workflow systems have become critical infrastructure.
Security can’t be an afterthought.
Systemic risks in Jira-based workflows
CRITICAL
Data sovereignty risk
EU hosting ≠ EU control. US Cloud Act can still expose your data.
CRITICAL
Limited data governance by design
Manual deletion-/ retention controls are insufficient.
CRITICAL
Loss of AI control
Atlassian dictates which AI touches your data.
HIGH
Rising costs
Escalating Atlassian pricing, year after year.
HIGH
Hard-to-exit ecosystem
Customizations and apps make Jira costly and risky to replace.
EMERGING
Growing complexity
Jira’s/Confluence's flexibility quickly turns into configuration debt, low adoption, and high admin effort.

Knowledge Management
Sovara brings knowledge and execution together, ensuring that context is always connected to work.
Teams can create pages, documentation, and knowledge bases within projects or dedicated spaces, using a rich-text editor and structured content organization. Knowledge can be linked directly to work items, ensuring that documentation and execution remain connected.
Granular permissions, role-based access, and data classification ensure that knowledge is managed securely, while semantic search and activity insights make it easy to find and use relevant information across the organization.
