Markus Gürtler, Senior Technology Evangelist at B1 Systems, shares his perspective on openDesk—a sovereign, modular workspace solution designed for the public sector. With Collabora Online as a key component, openDesk integrates leading open-source tools like Nextcloud, XWiki, and OpenProject to deliver a trusted alternative to proprietary office suites.

From his years of working with Collabora to his vision for digital sovereignty in Germany, Markus highlights how openDesk is growing fast and could soon become the de facto standard for public sector organizations seeking secure, open, and collaborative workspaces.
