Level the Playing Field.

Meet the web-based personal desktop that you can deploy to your customers and make money with.

Who’s eating your App Pie?

If you’re a Service Provider, this is a challenging time. Desktops and mobile devices come pre-installed with proprietary and freemium schemes to pull your customers away from your brand. Claiming larger slices of the mobile-app economy, over-the-top providers are creating walled gardens to lock people in. With Open-Xchange you can begin to reclaim more of that pie.

 

 

 

The freedom to connect

Web consumption is accelerating. But there’s a price to pay for this hyper-connectivity: increasingly complex digital lives and surrendering basic freedoms.  The search, software and social giants are doing everything in their power to control data flow. Control big data! And, as a Service Provider, you’re in direct competition. With Open-Xchange you can get ahead of the game by offering your customers freedom that they could only dream of – a fully integrated online life.

Shaking it Up.

Open-Xchange will be releasing a host of new additions to OX App Suite in 2013, including a suite of office productivity tools that free people to work the way they want to work. That will give people more of what they want: less complexity and increased accessibility to what matters.

OX Documents

The first of these releases is OX Text: the first App to be released in OX Documents - a cloud-based office productivity suite. An in-browser word processing tool, OX Text offers real-time editing and collaboration on all major text document formats without compromising document integrity. It frees users to focus on creating the content, and not worry about the process or the file format.

Pioneering development

A major market differentiator is that OX Text offers direct editing capabilities inside the browser, even for Microsoft Office and OpenOffice files. And a first for office productivity software, it always keeps the format of the original document.  This reduces the compatibility mess and promotes faster adoption of these advancements. Creating, sharing and collaborating across devices and software platforms has never been more enjoyable.

A better way to office.

Sending documents for review via email, then waiting for the edits and comments to come back before integrating the changes is madness. But people have had little option, till now.

Stealing time

Conventional text editing is tough. Stakeholders may have issues accessing the document because they are out of the office or who don’t have the “right” brand of software. Emailing the document presents its own problems: version and duplication issues, broken train of thought, and inconsistency because of multiple edits and multiple devices. Discovering what works and what doesn’t, is stealing everyone’s time.

Imagine better

The dream solution would be to enable people to edit a document collaboratively - anywhere, anytime, on virtually any device. To give everyone real-time access to the latest files, and cut out complex email chains. To work more efficiently, achieve better results - faster, spend time more creatively and have fun while doing it.

Discover OX Text

OX Text, a web-based word processor, supports online collaboration, increasing productivity by simplifying workflows. OX Text stores a single document in a central location, allowing a team of people to work simultaneously on the same document, without the need to track changes or manage multiple distributed versions.  Supporting the file formats people use most often.

  • Non-destructive file support allows the document to be read, edited and saved back as originally intended, without any alterations, thus preventing format corruption, data loss or errors. 
  • Round-trip editing means that even if OX Text does not directly support an editing function, it does not mean it is off-limits. Users simply download the document, edit it offline, and upload it again with the necessary changes. Nothing is lost in the editing process.

Our Partners

We are obsessively partner-centric. Everything we do is focused on enabling our partners to excel and gain a competitive edge. Working closely together to drive innovation and transform the market. Developing business models around robust, carrier grade solutions - that boost average revenue per user- is what we specialize in tailoring with partners. 

“It is key, when you have a long-term business relationship, to deal with people who are open and honest, transparent. Open-Xchange would definitely qualify in all of those categories.”
