VAD Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with Nextcloud, the globally trusted content collaboration and digital workspace platform. The partnership aims to support governments and enterprises across the region with secure, compliant, and data-sovereign digital workplace solutions.
Through this collaboration, VAD Technologies will expand the regional availability of Nextcloud’s enterprise collaboration platform to key sectors including the public sector, banking and financial services, insurance, and telecommunications—industries where data privacy, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience are paramount.
Leveraging VAD Technologies’ extensive ecosystem of more than 1,400 channel partners across the Middle East and North Africa, the partnership significantly strengthens Nextcloud’s footprint in the region. Together, both organizations will empower system integrators, value-added resellers, managed service providers, and cloud solution providers to deliver Nextcloud’s digital workspace platform to enterprises and government entities—while ensuring full ownership and control of data.
Data sovereignty and regulatory compliance remain top priorities for organizations across the GCC. Nextcloud’s platform enables customers to host their digital workplace in a private cloud environment, whether on-premises or with trusted local hosting partners. For highly sensitive and mission-critical workloads, Nextcloud can also be deployed in air-gapped environments, physically isolated from external networks to ensure the highest level of security.
VAD Technologies’ channel partners benefit from the company’s deep expertise across data center infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, AI, and enterprise software, supported by comprehensive pre-sales engagement, technical enablement, professional services, and flexible financial models.
“We are proud to bring Nextcloud’s secure and open digital collaboration platform to organizations across the Middle East,” said Mario M. Veljovic, General Manager of VAD Technologies. “With increasing regulatory requirements and a strong focus on data residency, Nextcloud aligns perfectly with the needs of governments and enterprises in the region. Combined with our robust partner ecosystem, we are well positioned to accelerate the adoption of trusted digital workspaces across the market.”
“Demand for secure and sovereign collaboration platforms is growing globally, and the Middle East is a key strategic region for us,” said Frank Karlitschek, CEO and Founder of Nextcloud. “VAD Technologies brings strong regional expertise, a proven partner ecosystem, and a dedicated software practice that enables enterprises and public sector organizations to adopt digital workspaces while retaining full control over their data.”
Nextcloud’s digital workspace allows users to securely edit and share documents, collaborate in real time, communicate via chat and video conferencing, and manage emails, calendars, and contacts through web, desktop, and mobile applications. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure and delivers advanced collaboration and AI-enabled features without compromising data confidentiality.
To further support regional adoption, Nextcloud is available in approximately 100 languages and includes Arabic language support (right-to-left, RTL), ensuring complying with government sector requirement about localized and user-friendly experience for organizations across the Middle East.
