OpeninteractionThere is a need for a connector;
a middleware layer, which
interconnects internal and external services,
enables open data transfer and interaction,between a large number of online collaboration services,
through as many different devices and interfaces as possible.
Safe and secure
This middleware layer offers
secure, federated user authentication and single sign-on
unified group management
Connected services are
safe and secure (privacy guaranteed)
available via attractivelicenses and an easy to use online distribution channel
Infrastructure for
