HCLSoftware Launches Sovereign AI Aimed at Governments and Regulated Organizations Concerned with Their Data Privacy

NOIDA, India, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HCLSoftware, a global leader in enterprise software solutions, announced today the launch of HCL Domino 14.5. Specifically targeting governments and regulated organizations concerned with their data privacy, HCL Domino 14.5 ushers in significant enhancements to the Domino+ sovereign collaboration portfolio, including the introduction of Domino IQ, a sovereign AI extension to the Domino platform that protects an organization’s data privacy and ensures information security.

Users of the HCL Domino platform leverage powerful AI to automate tasks, analyse data, and more, by choosing the models that their organization or trusted sources have built.
