OpenWorkplace
An open source, secure and scalable digital workplace.
OpenWorkplace is a Linux-based digital workplace solution that puts your organisation back in control – free from vendor lock-in. The solution is built on more than ten years of experience with our BorgerPC solution, now running on some 10,000 computers across Danish and Swedish municipalities.
Take control of your digital workplace
Many organisations experience issues like escalating licensing costs, vendor lock-in, limited flexibility and limited control over their own data using the same standard software throughout the organisation.
With OpenWorkplace, we offer a viable alternative – without the need to replace everything at once.
