Why do organizations in the public sector use Nextcloud?
Organizations in the public sector are moving away from foreign cloud providers amid rising concerns about digital sovereignty. Nextcloud has emerged as the most deployed self-hosted private cloud solution in the public sector and governments.
The need to digitalize
Organizations in the public sector need to level up and improve productivity by enabling remote work, real-time collaboration and fast but secure document exchange with other organizations.
Protect citizens data
With a growing digitization, the challenge of privacy and security becomes ever bigger. Governments can not be seen to leak data of citizens.
Remain digitally sovereign
Government functions have to be independent of individual vendors, and can not be subject to pressure of foreign governments, hackers or big tech companies.
