Case Study: DLRG achieves secure, collaborative document editing with ONLYOFFICE and Nextcloud

DLRG enables collaboration across 2,000 divisions with ONLYOFFICE and Nextcloud

The German Life Saving Association (DLRG) faced the challenge of organizing effective collaboration for its vast network of distributed, volunteer-based divisions. They needed a central document storage solution with real-time co-editing capabilities that could be hosted on their own secure IT infrastructure. They chose to integrate ONLYOFFICE Docs with their existing Nextcloud instance.

By implementing ONLYOFFICE, the DLRG gained a powerful collaborative document editing platform that supports a wide range of file formats. The solution enabled real-time co-authoring and mobile editing, which significantly improved collaboration for their distributed team. This was particularly impactful during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing the association to maintain productivity by moving daily work and meetings into the digital world. The DLRG operates this ONLYOFFICE and Nextcloud combo free of charge for its nearly 2000 divisions.
