Case Study: University of Nantes builds UNCloud digital collaboration platform with ONLYOFFICE and Nextcloud

University of Nantes scales UNCloud to 10,000 users in 1 year with ONLYOFFICE

The University of Nantes, a multidisciplinary university with 37,000 students, needed a self-hosted online collaboration platform to centralize data storage, facilitate secure sharing, and ensure compliance with GDPR. They could not use US-based services like Google G Suite or Microsoft Office365. They chose to integrate the ONLYOFFICE online office suite with their Nextcloud environment to meet these challenges.

The university implemented the ONLYOFFICE integration app, which provided real-time co-editing and high compatibility with MS Office formats. The solution successfully served 10,000 users, with online co-editing becoming a top feature for collaborative projects, meeting minutes, and document sharing. The ONLYOFFICE solution reduced server load and provided a user-friendly interface, leading to the successful deployment of their UNCloud platform.
