HybridForms now also available for Linux & PostgreSQL
From now on, HybridForms runs not only on Windows Server but also on Linux – and supports PostgreSQL alongside Microsoft SQL Server. Operating system and database can be freely combined. This creates vendor independence and gives government agencies and critical infrastructure (KRITIS) operators in particular greater control over their own IT infrastructure.
HybridForms is icomedias’ form and process platform – built for mobile data capture directly on-site, for example during maintenance logs, inspections, or incident reports in the field. Used across government agencies – from public administration to the police – as well as businesses, and operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS), it covers capture, workflows, and documentation end to end. In this context, digital sovereignty means being able to determine your own operating system, database, and AI infrastructure – rather than being tied to a single vendor.
Why Linux and PostgreSQL matter for Digital Sovereignty
For IT that is planned strategically and for the long term, the free choice of operating system and database is more than a technical option. Taking advantage of that choice means staying less exposed to the pricing and product decisions of any single vendor, and lowers vendor lock-in risk.
This sovereignty is further reinforced by the HybridForms Trusted.AI editions: the AI infrastructure runs entirely on-premises, with self-selected LLMs and, optionally, AI Server Guard – a second AI (2nd AI) that ensures prompt injection prevention and output compliance.
What this means for Government Agencies and Critical Infrastructure Operators
Organizations already running Linux or open-source infrastructure can integrate HybridForms directly into it, instead of maintaining a separate Windows or SQL Server environment. That lowers licensing costs and makes it easier to demonstrate an open, auditable IT architecture – a criterion that carries growing weight in public-sector procurement.
From the server operating system through the database to the AI, the entire chain stays in the organization’s own hands – a consistently sovereign architecture for any organization with high demands on control, security, and independence.
