Bechtle and Nextcloud: Navigating Digital Transitions in the Public Sector

The Nextcloud Podcast

“It was logic: If we want to learn more about open source, then we need to meet Nextcloud.”
– Manuel Liesenfeld, Head of Head of Public Sector Division at Bechtle AG

With the recent accelerating pace of innovation, public sector institutions throughout Europe have come to prioritize digital sovereignty as a primary driver in designing resilient IT systems.

Manuel Liesenfeld, Head of Head of Public Sector Division at Bechtle AG, discusses the current innovations in the European public sector and the obligation of public buyers to deliver resilient and sovereign digital solutions that put citizens first.

We explore how Bechtle – Germany’s largest IT system house – and Nextcloud’s recent partnership in offering digitally sovereign collaboration services for the European public sector is an important step in building resilient IT systems that prioritize security and data protection.

Manuel and Brent discuss many other topics, including:

• The importance of digital sovereignty in the public sector
• The benefits and advantages of open source solutions for public sector customers
• How Bechtle and Nextcloud are together committed to helping public sector customers succeed with open source technologies
• How Nextcloud is helping Bechtle’s focus on providing on-prem opportunities for AI, resilience, and data sovereignty.
• Advice on the most critical aspects of digital transitions for organizations, especially those in the public sector
• How Bechtle and Nextcloud’s sovereign AI approach address the challenges of AI adoption when working with private data
