Data Sovereignty Shapes Netherlands Cloud Strategies
The Dutch market is experiencing rapid growth in sovereign and hybrid cloud adoption. This trend aligns closely with sustainability initiatives that are also influencing data center investments.
The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services report for the Netherlands finds demand for sovereign cloud solutions rising as data protection and digital sovereignty mandates grow stricter and more coordinated. Dutch enterprises, particularly in regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance and government, are seeking cloud architectures that ensure sensitive data remains within national boundaries.
'The Dutch market is experiencing rapid growth in sovereign and hybrid cloud adoption,' said Anthony Drake, partner at ISG. 'This trend aligns closely with sustainability initiatives that are also influencing data center investments.'
The Netherlands is emerging as a leading European market for colocation and edge computing, driven by enterprise demand for secure, sustainable and compliant data centers, the report says. As edge computing grows, many organizations are also using colocation centers for faster data processing that is available closer to users.
Sustainability goals are driving Dutch enterprises toward green data center operations, with more than 80 percent of centers already powered by renewable energy, ISG says. Enterprises adopt measures such as advanced cooling technologies, waste heat reuse and renewable energy integration to enhance operational efficiency, comply with environmental laws and meet national climate targets.
Many Dutch companies are adopting advanced technologies such as AI, ML and real-time monitoring to strengthen cloud operations and security, the report says. Industries including healthcare and finance embrace robust security models such as zero trust to protect complex cloud environments. Amid this evolution, providers are addressing skills shortages by expanding managed services and automation, helping clients address cloud complexity.
Enterprises in the Netherlands increasingly seek flexible, customized cloud solutions that go beyond basic infrastructure to support efficient workload migration, seamless integration and enhanced security for sensitive data, ISG says. Companies need these environments to ensure greater operational control, improved performance and adherence to evolving data protection regulations.
'Dutch enterprises are prioritizing adaptable cloud strategies to navigate changing technology demands,' said Meenakshi Srivastava, lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. 'They prefer tailored services that simplify compliance while providing strong protection.'
The report also explores other cloud trends in the Netherlands, including the requirement for cloud portability and interoperability to avoid vendor lock-in and the deployment of adaptive AI solutions to streamline complex business processes.

Pitney Bowes Inc. Announces Pricing of $200 Million Offering of Convertible Senior Notes
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) ('Pitney Bowes' or, the 'Company') today announced the pricing of its private offering (the 'Offering') of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the 'Convertible Notes') in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'). In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, the Company has granted the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period from, and including, the date on which the Convertible Notes are first issued, up to an additional $30 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The sale of the Convertible Notes and the capped call transactions described below are expected to close on August 8, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $192.4 million (or approximately $221.4 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use approximately $21.5 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below in connection with the offering. If the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, the Company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Convertible Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties described below. In addition, the Company expects to use approximately $61.9 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate. The Company expects to use any remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and other strategic investments that align with the Company's capital strategy, which may include reinvestments in the Company's business, the repayment or refinancing of debt and other initiatives designed to reduce the Company's leverage or average borrowing cost. The Convertible Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed fully, unconditionally, and jointly and severally by each of the Company's existing and future wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantees the Company's existing credit agreement, existing senior notes or any other series of capital markets debt with an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of $150.0 million. The Convertible Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2026. The Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2030 unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Prior to May 15, 2030, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and, thereafter, the notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions of the Convertible Notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted and delivering shares of its common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted. The conversion rate will initially be 70.1533 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.25 per share of common stock). The initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes represents a premium of approximately 27.5% to the $11.18 closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on August 5, 2025. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or the Company's delivery of a notice of redemption, the Company will increase, in certain circumstances, the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to August 21, 2028. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after August 21, 2028, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the 'option counterparties'). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company's common stock upon any conversion of notes, with such reduction subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be $22.36 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $11.18 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on August 5, 2025, and will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Company expects the option counterparties or their respective affiliates to purchase shares of the Company's common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company's common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company's common stock or the Convertible Notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company's common stock and/or purchasing or selling shares of the Company's common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date for the capped call transactions or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the Convertible Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Company's common stock or the Convertible Notes, which could affect a noteholder's ability to convert the Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs following conversion or during any observation period related to a conversion of Convertible Notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of its Convertible Notes. In connection with the concurrent share repurchase described above, the Company has agreed to repurchase shares of its common stock sold short by initial investors in the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price per share of the Company's common stock on August 5, 2025, which was $11.18 per share. These repurchases could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company's common stock or the Convertible Notes. This activity could affect the market price of the Company's common stock prior to, concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes, and could result in a higher effective conversion price for the Convertible Notes. The offering is being made to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Any offers of the Convertible Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. None of the Convertible Notes, the related guarantees or any shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes have been or are expected to be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the Convertible Notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
