Secure Collaboration Platforms

Would you like to be perceived as a modern employer?

A successful transition to virtual communication and collaboration is an essential and critical factor for success. Secure communication and collaboration platforms (Unified Communications and Collaboration, UCC) enable seamless communication across locations, collaborative data processing and the efficient development of ideas and strategies. A comprehensive communication and collaboration platform ("single pane of glass" concept) within a unified application environment significantly enhances your team's efficiency in working together.

Public administration must navigate the complex landscape of functionality, interoperability, digital sovereignty and security to identify the optimal collaboration platform. It must ensure that implementation aligns with the BSI’s IT Baseline Protection, GDPR and other security regulations, some of which are specific to individual federal states.

Market players are pushing users towards centrally managed (public) cloud environments and increasingly offering their communication and collaboration services solely as Unified Communications and Collaboration as a Service (UCCaaS). This approach offers numerous benefits, including high scalability (regarding licenses, features, users, etc.), high availability through fail-safe cloud solutions, improved and expanded collaboration on a unified platform and reduced investment in hardware procurement and upgrades.

However, special attention must be paid to ensuring a secure and GDPR-compliant implementation of the collaboration platform. Additionally, reliance on both the manufacturer and the cloud provider will continue to grow. This market trend contrasts with the public sector's increasing focus on digital sovereignty. In this context, it is worth considering collaboration platforms based on open-source software.
