Your Infrastructure, Your Rules - Deploy and operate collaboration services the way you want

About

Operating an on‑premise solution differs fundamentally from providing a typical Software-as-a-Service product — especially when it comes to deployment and operation. While SaaS providers control their runtime environment end to end, an on‑premise solution must empower the organization itself to operate the service efficiently within its own technical and organizational context. This requires flexibility to adapt to diverse infrastructures, existing expertise, and established workflows.

Nextcloud, as the leading open source on‑premise collaboration and file exchange platform, has extensive experience in achieving this balance. The talk will present practical examples from real-world deployments illustrating how Nextcloud integrates seamlessly with existing systems without disrupting established processes or requiring fundamental architectural or organisational changes.

Beyond deployment, flexibility also extends to user experience and customization: different user groups often have distinct workflows and needs. The second part of the talk will discuss how Nextcloud's modular design and open architecture enable organizations to tailor the platform precisely to their requirements while maintaining a consistent user experience and operational reliability.
