Mistral AI and Exact Online: European AI for your ERP
For businesses that prioritise data sovereignty and European regulations, Mistral AI is a compelling choice. Mistral is a French AI company that builds powerful language models while keeping data processing within Europe. Combined with Ledger Botje — whose servers are also located in the EU — you get a fully European AI stack for your Exact Online administration.
European AI for European businesses
Many organisations, especially in regulated industries like finance, healthcare and government, have strict requirements about where their data is processed. With Mistral AI:
- Data stays in Europe — Mistral processes requests on European infrastructure, aligned with GDPR requirements.
- No US data transfers — unlike some American AI providers, your business data does not cross the Atlantic.
- Transparency — Mistral is open about its model architecture and data handling practices.
- Compliance-friendly — easier to include in your data processing agreements and privacy impact assessments.
If your compliance officer has concerns about using AI with business data, Mistral combined with Ledger Botje offers the most straightforward path to approval.
