Data storage EU

Hello!

I'm afraid my question is not a new one, but I'm not giving up hope that Smartsheet is interested in expanding into Europe.

Since I realized, that EU-GDPR seems to be accepted, the IT-data-security-departments at my Clients in Germany are still focused on where Smartsheet stores the data. Tha is top level of importance for the companies in Germany since data storage at US-clouds is oftenly not acceptable due to security reasons…

My personal opinion: If Smartsheet is willing to go to increase European market share… sooner or later, there won't be any other way as giving the customers access to European server (better German, because of high standards) because of data-security reasons.

Are there any thougts relating that to offer data storage in EU for EU-customer in the near future...?

Thanks!



Best Mark
