Cloud or on-premises

SPS will be available for direct, on-premises deployment or through partners as part of a standard European hosted cloud stack. Designed for the public sector in the German-speaking DACH region, SPS will deliver an intuitive and easy to use productivity suite with best of breed applications. The advantage of this approach is that customers who want an Open-Source solution will no longer have to combine different packages themselves. Instead, they will be able to reduce costs and complexity with a single solution specifically designed for their needs, under one contract and with unified support.
