Why Dutch organizations choose Nextcloud
Nextcloud is the open source collaboration platform that gives Dutch organizations full control over their data. Unlike American cloud giants such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Dropbox, Nextcloud hosting at EasyData offers 100% Dutch data sovereignty.
As experts in cloud solutions, EasyData helps organizations transition to Nextcloud. Our Dutch datacenters guarantee that your business data never leaves Dutch borders, while you gain access to enterprise-grade collaboration functionalities.
Digital Transformation that really works
We offer you a smart solution, specially developed for SMEs. Our digital transformation platform combines the power of AI, machine learning, and secure cloud technology into one accessible solution.
EasyData consciously uses NextCloud as the foundation for secure file sharing and data analysis. Where other platforms depend on American tech giants, EasyData chooses complete data sovereignty within Dutch borders. In addition, NextCloud offers robust technology for file security with understandable access control.
The NextCloud integration works as an extension of your own system. Documents are simply dragged via Windows Explorer to a NextCloud folder, where they are automatically uploaded and processed by EasyData’s advanced AI algorithms. After processing, the results automatically return to the agreed location – as if the service runs locally.
