Case Study: University of Kassel achieves secure, GDPR-compliant digital collaboration with Collaboard

University of Kassel - Customer Case Study

The University of Kassel, a dynamic university with 25,000 students, needed a GDPR-compliant online whiteboard to replace isolated departmental solutions and enable effective remote work for its administration, staff, and teachers. The university's IT Service Center faced the challenge of finding a tool that met strict data protection regulations for campus-wide use. They selected Collaboard after an open tender process.

Collaboard provided an on-premises version with data hosted on the Open Telekom Cloud in Germany, ensuring full GDPR compliance. The solution was rapidly adopted, with initial licenses being quickly claimed by the administration and departments. Collaboard enabled the university to work effectively from any location, with use cases ranging from strategic planning and research visualization to interactive digital teaching.
