Univention is a German open-source company whose main product, Nubus, manages identities and access across an organisation's applications. It focuses on digital sovereignty, letting customers keep control of software, data and direction without lock-in to one vendor or cloud.

  • User and rights management — users, groups and permissions handled in one place, with access set by role.
  • Choice of hosting — run on-premises, in the cloud or as SaaS.
  • Open source and open standards — code that can be audited and adapted, and standards-based integration with other systems.
  • Standby continuity — Nubus can be kept in standby as a sovereign fallback for business continuity.

Who it works with

Mainly the education sector and public administration.
