At Open-Xchange (OX), we build OX App Suite, a modern web application for email and groupware trusted by millions of users worldwide. As a core part of our open-source portfolio, it enables secure digital communication and collaboration. As the global leader in open-source email and collaboration software, we develop solutions for enterprises, service providers, and public sector organizations around the world. Our software also plays a key role in advancing digital sovereignty across Europe, powering initiatives such as OpenDesk and deployments for the State of Schleswig-Holstein.
