AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS reaffirmed its long-standing partnership with ELO Digital Office during the ELO Partner Summit Event in Barcelona, marking a collaboration that has successfully delivered more than 50 large-scale and complex enterprise content management (ECM) projects across Southeastern Europe.

Building on this proven track record, AUSTRIACARD announced the integration of its GaiaB™ Appliance with the latest versions of the ELO ECM Suite and the ELO Assistant—introducing a fully sovereign, end-to-end AI-powered content and process automation platform.

The GaiaB™ Appliance brings advanced generative and agentic AI capabilities directly into the enterprise environment through a secure, on-premise or private cloud deployment model. Fully integrated with ELO’s intelligent ECM platform, the combined solution enables organizations to automate document-centric processes, unlock contextual insights from enterprise content, and interact with business data through natural language—all while maintaining full control over sensitive information.

At a time when data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and AI governance are becoming critical priorities—particularly within the European market—the joint solution ensures that enterprises can adopt AI at scale without relying on public cloud infrastructures.

“Organizations today are not just looking for digitalization—they are looking for trusted, sovereign AI solutions that align with their regulatory and operational realities,” said Kostas Fiakas, Commercial Director, AI & Digital Solutions CEE Cluster at AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS. “Our collaboration with ELO, combined with the GaiaB™ Appliance, enables customers to move beyond traditional ECM into a new era of intelligent, secure, and autonomous enterprise operations.”

Dan Rizea, Managing Partner at ELO Digital Office Romania, added: “Our partnership with AUSTRIACARD has consistently delivered impactful digital transformation projects across the region. By combining ELO’s AI-driven ECM capabilities with GaiaB’s secure AI infrastructure, we are empowering organizations to turn information into actionable intelligence—securely and efficiently.”

This joint approach positions AUSTRIACARD and ELO at the forefront of the next wave of enterprise transformation, where content, processes, and AI converge into a unified, intelligent ecosystem—designed to meet the evolving demands of highly regulated industries and data-sensitive environments.
