BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL), the Agentic Financial Operations Platform
for the Office of the CFO, and S3NS, a joint venture controlled by Thales in partnership with Google Cloud, today jointly announced their partnership in France for a new offering hosted on a trusted cloud infrastructure, further expanding BlackLine’s European cloud footprint. This strategic alliance enables organizations with stringent data residency and sovereignty requirements to modernize financial operations while maintaining greater control over where and how their data is managed.
Thales, a global leader in Defense, Aerospace, Cyber, and Digital, will be the first customer to implement BlackLine’s platform on this new infrastructure. The platform will run on PREMI3NS, the trusted cloud offering from S3NS. To support the rollout, Thales’ digital services division will build and operate the local deployment, highlighting the company’s dual role as both a flagship customer and a key integration partner.
This investment expands BlackLine’s ability to serve organizations operating in highly regulated European environments, where data control, security and regulatory requirements are increasingly important considerations in cloud and AI adoption. “Finance cannot compromise on trust. As AI takes on more consequential work, organizations need confidence not only in the accuracy, transparency, and governance of the technology, but also in where their most sensitive financial data resides and how it is controlled,” said Philippe Omer Decugis, Senior Vice President and General Manager for EMEA at BlackLine. “Consequently, data control and regulatory compliance are becoming an increasingly important part of the AI conversation.
