Sovereignty as a foundation, not a marketing promise.
openDesk is the office and collaboration suite focused on digital sovereignty and security — the foundation for work that doesn't depend on a single provider.
Privacy-compliant collaboration
Data stays in Germany or the EU, processed in compliance with GDPR.
Familiar tools for everyday administrative work
Files, mail, calendar, chat and projects in a single interface.
