ownCloud and Collabora Make LibreOffice Online Available for ownCloud Enterprise

Collabora Productivity Ltd. and ownCloud, Inc. released a combined commercial solution including Collabora Online, which brings the first production ready LibreOffice Online functionality to the public.

Collabora Online is a building block for ownCloud, providing enterprise users with the much requested Open Source cloud document suite that supports all major document, spreadsheet and presentation file formats, increasing productivity while staying in control of sensitive corporate data.

Teams are able to collaborate using ‘shared editing’ where any one user can edit and all other users can see changes in real-time. For existing ownCloud users this resolves potential version conflicts. While working independently on the same document, this collaboration now happens online, inside the ownCloud web front-end.
