Success Story: Managed DAVx5 and EGroupware in City Administration Jena
We all know how important it is to be able to access our work data at any time and from anywhere. This was also an important factor in choosing the groupware solution for the Jena city administration. For more than 15 years, EGroupware has been the central solution for team collaboration there. About two years ago, the responsible IT service providers introduced Managed DAVxâ” [1] for employeesâ smartphones. Since then, the app has been synchronizing calendars and address books via CalDAV/CardDAV between EGroupware and the employeesâ smartphones. We asked Jena how the changeover worked out and what advantages the new solution [2] offers. Read the full story in our new blog article.

Network Day OSBA (Open Source Business Alliance)
Since November 2022, our managing director Birgit Becker has been a member of the OSBAâs extended board. The year 2022 has brought a record number of new members to the OSB Alliance: 33 companies, universities, associations and private supporting members have decided to join the alliance. This means that the OSBA has exceeded the 200-member mark. It is obvious here that the goals of the OSBA coincide with the goals of many stakeholders from business, society and politics. We are happy to be part of it and already invite you to the network day on 11/16/2023.
