CollabNext: A sovereign alternative to US office suites and clouds

CollabNext: A sovereign alternative to US office suites and clouds
At a time when digital sovereignty is becoming a priority for European organisations, the CollabNext project is emerging as a bold response.

Spearheaded by a French consortium of leading players, CollabNext offers a secure, European alternative to solutions such as Microsoft Office 365 and Azure. This offering combines a collaborative office suite and a sovereign cloud, aligned with the strategic needs of public and private organisations.

A solution designed to meet the challenges faced by organisations

CollabNext integrates the three major technological pillars: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service), including a Digital Workplace, an email suite and more. You can now order PaaS and cloud services directly from CollabNext. This comprehensive, modular offering enables businesses to migrate easily from non-European solutions while strengthening their compliance with regulations, including the GDPR and European security standards such as SecNumCloud, defined by ANSSI.

Key benefits by function:

  • For senior management: CollabNext provides a robust framework for digital transformation, with advanced artificial intelligence tools;
  • For IT departments: A secure, interoperable architecture, including messaging, videoconferencing, storage and project management tools;
  • For security departments: optimum protection of sensitive data against extraterritorial laws, a crucial asset in guaranteeing digital sovereignty;
  • For operational teams: An intuitive, modular interface that facilitates day-to-day collaboration.

A project supported by France 2030

CollabNext is part of the France 2030 plan, a strategic initiative aimed at strengthening France’s digital competitiveness. This ambitious project, which was funded under a call for projects and won in April 2023, illustrates France’s commitment to developing alternatives to the GAFAMs.

An accessible offering tailored to needs

CollabNext has adopted a Freemium strategy, enabling users to get started quickly and without obligation. This approach is designed to encourage organisations to test the platform and appreciate its added value before migrating to a paid-for, competitive and scalable offering.

Users can discover the essential functionalities from the outset: creating accounts, sharing documents or videoconferencing. The flexibility of the solution means it can be adapted to the specific needs of local authorities, the public sector or private companies.
An eco-responsible approach in line with European values.

An eco-responsible approach in line with European values

CollabNext is not just about technological performance. The platform also incorporates eco-responsible initiatives, such as :

  • Low carbon footprint infrastructures: Hosted on European data centres such as Clever Cloud and 3DS Outscale, complying with strict energy efficiency standards;
  • Optimisation of cloud resources: IaaS and PaaS environments are designed to minimise energy consumption while guaranteeing high performance;
  • Unified communication: Centralised tools reduce the need for redundant emails, thereby reducing their environmental impact.

A collaborative project supported by leading French players

CollabNext is based on a consortium of French experts, including :

  • Jamespot: Digital Workplace and application integration;
  • Clever Cloud: Platform as a Service (PaaS);
  • 3DS Outscale: Sovereign Infrastructures (IaaS);
  • Wallix: Cybersecurity;
  • Alinto: Professional messaging;
  • Glowbl: Real-time collaboration;
  • Datakeen: Artificial intelligence;
  • X-Wiki: Knowledge management.

This collective project illustrates the commitment of French players to promoting a sovereign and sustainable digital economy.

So why adopt CollabNext?

With CollabNext, European organisations finally have a complete solution for their office automation and cloud needs. By combining sovereignty, compliance, performance and eco-responsibility, CollabNext is reinventing collaborative tools to meet current and future challenges.
