Case Study: Münster University streamlines research collaboration with ONLYOFFICE and ownCloud

How ONLYOFFICE and ownCloud Integration in Sciebo Helps Facilitate Research Workflow in Münster University

Münster University, one of Germany’s largest universities, uses its sciebo cloud storage service for studying, teaching, and research. The university needed a secure, scalable way to support collaboration on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations while meeting strict data protection requirements and ensuring compatibility with Microsoft Office formats.

To address this, Münster University implemented the ONLYOFFICE and ownCloud integration in sciebo, enabling real-time collaborative editing directly within the cloud platform. With ONLYOFFICE, the university improved document exchange, reduced reliance on email-based file sharing, and strengthened GDPR-compliant data protection for more than 100,000 registered sciebo users, especially those handling sensitive research data.
