Why ONLYOFFICE

As a company focused on delivering advanced cloud and collaborative solutions, Flexcloud constantly evaluates the tools available in the market. ONLYOFFICE Docs caught their attention due to its robust functionality and ability to be hosted on Flexcloud’s secure infrastructure in France.

ONLYOFFICE open-source nature and focus on security aligned perfectly with their vision of providing sovereign, reliable solutions for their clients.

The decision was based on several key factors:

• Real-time editing: ONLYOFFICE Docs facilitates simultaneous editing of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, significantly improving teamwork and productivity.
• Open-source integration: The compatibility with 100% open-source Flexcloud aligns with the commitment to transparency and adaptability.
• Data sovereignty: ONLYOFFICE Docs can be hosted within Flexcloud’s infrastructure in France, ensuring data remains secure and compliant with local privacy laws.

How ONLYOFFICE transformed collaboration for Flexcloud’s clients

Before, team members often relied on email exchanges and waited for other team members to make changes before they could see the results. Such a process caused delays and versioning issues.

Now, clients can work simultaneously on the same documents in real time, which enhances teamwork and speeds up project completion. Here are three key benefits observed:

• Real-time collaboration: Teams can collaborate on the same document in real time, no matter where they are.
• Seamless file compatibility: The platform ensures full support for popular formats, including Microsoft Office files, eliminating conversion issues and preserving layouts.
• Integrated communication tools: Features like built-in chat allow team members to discuss changes instantly, minimizing misunderstandings.

By integrating ONLYOFFICE into the platform, Flexcloud has given its customers the means to work more efficiently and collaboratively, while remaining in a secure, private environment.
