Berlin, August 15, 2022 – OpenProject, the leading free and open source project management software, and Nextcloud, the company behind the world’s most deployed on-premises content collaboration platform, announce further integration efforts. The integration will improve the productivity and will ensure data sovereignty of their enterprise users.
We are developing open source project management software to change the way how people collaborate. What really connects Nextcloud and OpenProject is our strong commitment to data sovereignty and data privacy in Europe. The integration will closely integrate project management and file management, and customers will benefit greatly. They can rely on a secure set-up without giving data to foreign SaaS providers. It fills me with great joy to work with such a strong partner from the open source community who shares the same motivation.
– Niels Lindenthal, Founder and CEO at OpenProject GmbH
In the wake of rising concerns about digital sovereignty, enterprises are increasingly relying on on-premises productivity solutions. The integration brings various benefits, both on OpenProject and Nextcloud side:
Organizations require efficient, well integrated platforms that put their users’ productivity first, empowering them to access and work with their data and communicate wherever they are. At the same time, control over data flows and compliance are key concerns to our common customers. This exciting partnership will enable more efficient collaboration and we look forward to further results of our integration efforts and how our customers will be able to benefit from these.
– Frank Karlitschek, Founder and CEO at Nextcloud GmbH
The integration is available starting with Nextcloud 22 and OpenProject 12.2 and can be found in the Nextcloud app store, and configured in OpenProject’s system administration. In collaboration with mutual customers, further integration efforts are under way which include the linking of files from OpenProject, including complete project folders.
