So additionally to collaborating on the Enterprise side and offer Online Office functionality for Enterprise customers we will also provide this for all Nextcloud community users.” Karlitschek explained that “Nextcloud has a really strong community focus. What this essentially means is that anyone can take Nextcloud and CODE and built their own cloud based storage and online office suite service. Unlike ownCloud, Nextcloud has no enterprise-only features. “Clearly the unique feature is retaining complete control of your data, as well as being able to embed Collabora Online into many other customer solutions that respect your data.”įor those who don’t know Nextcloud is a fork of ownCloud that was founded by Frank Karlitschek. “We’re building on a long term, proven, feature-rich code-base and bringing it in an efficient, secure and scalable way to the browser alongside Nextcloud,” said Meeks. But it seems like neither Nextcloud nor Collabora are interested in building such an infrastructure and moving into that business. If some big infrastructure provider were to offer a Collabora and Nextcloud-based ‘Office suite as a service’ to users, that could be a game changer. To make software deployment and management easier, Nextcloud and Collabora Productivity are offering Docker for anyone to use, a move that indicates that containers _are_ the future of applications. The Nextcloud partnership will enable CODE users to store and sync their files on remote servers. So you will be running your own office suite in your own cloud. Instead, it offers the entire code as a product that users can install on their own servers. Unlike Google or Microsoft, Collabora Productivity doesn’t have the massive infrastructure required to offer CODE as a cloud based service. While Collabora Online offers an open source alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft Office 365, when I played with it I found it much closer to LibreOffice and Office 365 than Google Docs as it offers full fledged office suite capabilities. CODE is the development version of Collabora Online, an online version of LibreOffice for enterprise customers. Newly formed Nextcloud and Collabora Productivity have partnered to bring Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE) to Nextcloud users.
