Many companies rely on popular platforms like Microsoft Teams, but there is concern about data protection and digital sovereignty, which has led to the demand for alternatives that provide more control and flexibility.
For example, Microsoft Teams first recently introduced a warning for messages from external contracts after a series of phishing attacks using the platform.
NextCloud Talk, an open source online collaboration platform that prioritizes data protection, promises to offer workers the opportunity to work safely everywhere while maintaining full data sovereignty and control over sensitive information.
Unlike browser-based tools that require constant tab switching, the NextCloud Talk Desktop app directly integrates into a user’s workflow, giving real-time messages and easy participation in calls. With this dedicated app, teams can access communication tools such as chat, video calls and webinars all in one place.
NextCloud says its platform focuses on high security communication. Unlike many collaborative platforms that depend on US-based providers, NextCloud Talk ensures that all data is fully in line with GDPR, making it an ideal choice for organizations and public institutions wishing to remain compatible when They process data in the EU.
It also supports implementation in airgap environments, where communication networks are isolated from external networks for maximum security, ensuring that sensitive conversations and files remain safe.
In addition, it also comes with AI features that help users simplify everyday tasks. Its AI can generate the summary of video conferencing and chatlog files, so users can quickly review key points from meetings. It can also help create task lists, help teams stay organized and on the field with their projects.
Collaboration often requires more than just communication, it also involves brainstorming and sharing ideas in real time. To support this, NextCloud Talk offers an interactive whiteboard feature that allows teams to visually collaborate during calls and real-time document editing
For those who have had to sit through too many chats about the weather, NextCloud Talk has introduced a feature that automatically ends calls after a certain time, and encourages teams to maintain effective and focused meetings without pulling out unnecessarily.
“Companies need powerful collaborative tools-but most solutions are not GDPR compatible and lock organizations in dependence on American tech giants,” Says NextCloud CEO Frank Karlitschek.
“We address the limitations of other platforms by providing real digital sovereignty and full transparency. Our tools allow organizations to manage their communication with full control over their data, independently and securely,” Karlitschek added
