OVHCloud Email
Professional email hosted in Europe, with a familiar webmail experience and the essentials organisations need for everyday communication.
Open tech for British organisations
Simple, Safe & Sustainable.
Small, practical workspace for email, calendars, documents, files and meetings. Built from open technology, hosted in Europe, and chosen to avoid unnecessary expensive dependence.
The tools
One clear recommendation for each part of the working day.
OpenDesk UK is a curation. It does not try to reinvent the whole workplace. It simply points to a practical open stack that works well today.
Euro-Office
A sovereign online office component for documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Best used as part of a wider platform such as Nextcloud.
Nextcloud Files
Store, organise and share files in a way that keeps control with your organisation, not a remote platform you cannot shape.
Nextcloud Talk
Video meetings, chat and screen sharing in a privacy focused service that fits naturally into the wider Nextcloud experience.
Nextcloud Calendar
Shared calendars that sit comfortably alongside files and meetings, making planning and collaboration simpler for teams.
The Stack
Three products, five everyday jobs.
The stack is intentionally lean. OVHCloud Email covers communication. Nextcloud covers files, calendars and meetings. Euro-Office brings document editing into the mix.

Principles
Simple, Safe & Sustainable.
Those three ideas shape what belongs here. The aim is not maximum complexity. It is dependable tools that ordinary organisations can actually use and keep using.
Simple
Pick fewer tools, choose proven services and keep the user experience clear. Good digital work should feel straightforward.
Safe
Prefer open technology, predictable hosting and services that help organisations keep more control over their data and operations.
Sustainable
Make the most of what already exists, avoid unnecessary lock-in, and build on tools that can be maintained over the long term.
Easy to self-host. Want someone to manage it for you?
EcoDesk is coming soon. A managed service for organisations that like the open stack but do not want the responsibility of running it themselves.
