Case Study: Calar Alto Observatory achieves secure, location-independent collaboration with ONLYOFFICE

How Calar Alto Observatory implements ONLYOFFICE for secure & location-independent collaboration

Calar Alto Observatory, a major astrophysics scientific center in Spain, needed a secure way to support collaborative work across its distributed, mixed-OS environment. As users began requesting an office solution for working with DOCX, XLSX, and ODT files in their self-hosted cloud, the team evaluated several options and chose ONLYOFFICE Docs for use with Nextcloud.

ONLYOFFICE implemented an integration that now lets Calar Alto Observatory users from different departments edit documents in real time and share files securely within the private network. The result is a reliable, location-independent collaboration setup that the observatory says works well for fast document updates; Enrique de Guindos noted he would recommend ONLYOFFICE “without any doubt.”
