Your data is in Frankfurt. That doesn’t make it sovereign. CADA just turned the difference between data residency and data sovereignty into a matter of law, not opinion. For service providers across Europe, that’s not a compliance footnote; it’s a question your regulated-sector customers are already asking in procurement. Inside the guide: → The decade of regulation that led here; GDPR to CADA → What CADA’s four sovereignty levels actually require → Why “hosted in the EU” and “sovereign” aren’t the same claim → The commercial opening this creates for EU-native providers → What financial services, healthcare, public sector and critical infrastructure customers are about to ask you

One invoice. One blank field: Provider. At CASA26 in Amsterdam, our Co-Founder and Group CEO Daan De Wever put one question to a room full of operators: when every business buys an AI, whose name is on the invoice? Being essential is not the same as being chosen. The gap isn’t AI. It’s commercialisation. Watch the full keynote, Commercialising Sovereign AI Communications, and see how to own the relationship, transform the conversation, and grow the invoice.

When a call ends, so does the proof of what was said. Audits, disputes, coaching, most of your customers are handling all of it without a proper recording layer in place. That's a compliance gap, a revenue gap, and an opportunity sitting right inside your existing Dstny Voice base. Call Recording Intelligence activates natively on Dstny Voice. No new vendor. No integration project. Full compliance, conversation analytics, and AI-driven review, on one licence ladder, one bill. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/edQ4Hu4k/?utm_campaign=CallRecordingIntelligencepostboost-2026&utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=paid&utm_id=1215100444&hsa_acc=513374807&hsa_cam=1215100444&hsa_grp=900659324&hsa_ad=1578632634&hsa_net=linkedin&hsa_ver=3 #CallRecordingIntelligence #DstnyIntelligence #AlwaysOnCommunications

Dstny Conversational Intelligence tells your customers everything they need to know about each and every conversation they have by capturing them, structuring the data and making it searchable in natural language. It’s a shared organisational brain that automatically processes conversations as they happen and builds a knowledge base that makes that brain more intelligent the more it’s used. This is what separates it from every point solution your customers may have tried before. Conversational Intelligence is a living thing that resides natively within your voice service. Every conversation it processes deepens the pattern recognition. Objections get more refined. Deal signals get sharper. Coaching insights get more precise. Over time, your customers aren't just using a product they're building a proprietary intelligence asset that no competitor can access. Suddenly you have become something that they will never move away from or treat as a commoditised service. Every conversation processed by Dstny Conversational Intelligence stays within the EU. 100% EU-hosted data residency, ISO 27001-aligned security, and GDPR-ready by default. Deployment is measured in days, not months. No custom integration. No change management programme. Activate it on an existing Dstny UCaaS base and invoice before the end of the week. Your customers are already having the conversations and Conversational Intelligence exists to extract every bit of that value and put it to work.

Provider licence margins around UC connectivity have dropped from around 70% to under 10% in some cases, according to Cavell Group research published in November 2025, and 40% of service providers reported a decline in both ARPU and margin over the past 12 to 36 months. For most of the last decade, the connectivity seat was your margin engine: sell the line, collect the licence revenue, grow the base. The problem is that the connection has now become the cost of entry. The providers holding ground have moved to bundled AI, analytics, and compliance services on top of the seat rather than competing on the seat itself. That shift is structural rather than cyclical, and the providers who recognise it as structural are building a different kind of offer, one where the seat is the starting point and the intelligence layer above it is where the billing conversation goes next. Providers entering Teams voice as a connectivity-only play are watching the same margin trajectory repeat, while those bundling call intelligence and compliance on top of the voice seat are writing a different story. The seat margin keeps shrinking while the intelligence layer margin holds.

When you launched Teams voice, the business case probably focused on go-live: certification, infrastructure, integration, launch. But the real question comes after that. What does it cost to keep the service running, updated and commercially viable month after month? Monthly platform updates, certified engineers and infrastructure requirements all stay on your cost base.Over time, that can change the Teams voice business case completely. In our blog, we break down where the ongoing costs sit, why they are often underestimated, and how providers can rethink the integration layer without slowing down growth.
