Nextcloud Talk: Open source answer to Microsoft Teams
from editorial team,
At the Nextcloud Enterprise Day in France, Nextcloud presented the first GDPR-compliant alternative to Microsoft Teams. With the release of Talk “Paris”, Nextcloud is responding to the increasing demand for a data protection-compliant collaboration platform for hybrid working teams that offers companies full data control and independence from US tech giants.

“Companies need powerful tools for collaboration – and are therefore dependent on solutions that are not GDPR-compliant and make them dependent on US tech companies,” emphasizes Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek. “We start where other platforms reach their limits – with digital sovereignty and full transparency.”
According to the provider, Nextcloud Talk is the only collaboration software that offers highly secure, GDPR-compliant communication while integrating all the functions that modern teams need – from chats to video conferences to webinars. With the open architecture, the solution can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and adapted to individual requirements.
