Secure migration, proven at enterprise scale

Migrate safely with a partner experienced in mission-critical transitions. For BMW, we migrated over 100,000 records in a single project.

Predictable pricing, while Atlassian keeps climbing

Since 2019, Atlassian has raised Jira and Confluence prices every year, over 111% in total. sovara costs up to 30% less, with no hidden add-ons and no annual increases.

Choose the cloud that fits your organization

sovara is cloud agnostic. Run it on a European sovereign cloud, on Google or AWS, or fully on-premise. The choice is yours.

Deeply connect to the tools you already use

Connect sovara to the tools your organization already runs: GitLab, SAP, Microsoft, and many more. Connect via API, MCP, or AI agents.

Sovereign by design

We build and host in Europe. We operate under Swiss jurisdiction. Our infrastructure is CLOUD Act-free, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, and GDPR compliant.

sovara evolves fast

We ship new features and improvements continuously, shaped by what customers need. You always work on a platform that's up to date

Intuitive & powerful platform

All the power of Jira and Confluence, none of the complexity. sovara is fast to learn and easy to use, so your teams get productive from day one.

Universal context

Every agent knows what you're working on. They draw on your organization's knowledge to give answers grounded in your actual work.

Your stack, your AI

Connect your own AI endpoints, whether secure cloud or self-hosted LLMs. Choose the models that fit your teams and your stack.

Build your own agents

Create your own agents in minutes. Point them at a workflow, set how they should act, and switch them on.

Agents on autopilot

When a ticket comes in, an agent reads it, sets priority, and assigns the right owner. Build the rules once, and your workflows run themselves.


Testimonial

"rready prevailed against numerous other providers, including established industry heavyweights. Particularly convincing was the AI expertise, which was reflected not only in a solid AI strategy, but also in the consistent implementation. Even for complex and changing requirements, rready manages to adopt our perspective, develop novel solutions, and implement them in a short time."
