OnlyOffice (formerly TeamLab), stylized as ONLYOFFICE, is a free/libre and open source productivity software and ecosystem of collaborative applications. [4] [5] It consists of online editors for text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms and PDFs, and the room-based collaborative platform.

Contents

OnlyOffice is delivered either as SaaS or as an installation for deployment on a private network. Its cloud solutions cater to businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies, offering advanced collaboration features. Created for online document collaboration, OnlyOffice also offers desktop editors for offline work.[ citation needed ]

History

In 2009, a group of software developers from Ascensio System SIA (Latvian-based) and New Communication Technologies (Russian-based) launched a project called TeamLab, a platform for internal team collaboration. [6]

In March 2012, TeamLab introduced the first HTML5-based online document editors at CeBIT. [7]

In July 2014, TeamLab Office was officially rebranded to OnlyOffice. [8] [9]

In March 2016, the developers released a free desktop application – OnlyOffice Desktop Editors. [10]

In August 2023, OnlyOffice opened a holding company in Singapore and incorporated all the existing branches (those in Latvia, US, UK, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Serbia) under the one brand. Ascensio System SIA was to become 100% owned by the British-based Ascensio System Ltd, which in its turn was to become 100% owned by OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. The beneficiaries of OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. are listed in the registry of Singapore companies by ACRA. [11]

In February 2023,[ citation needed ] OnlyOffice released the first version of the ChatGPT plugin. [12] In January 2024, version 1.1.4 of the plugin was released which provided new tools for document editing and access to GPT-4. [13]

In November 2024,[ citation needed ] OnlyOffice launches Virtual Data Rooms for file security with automated indexing and content tracking. [14]

Organization

Based in Latvia, OnlyOffice owner Ascensio System SIA was a subsidiary of Russian-based New Communication Technologies. [15] Due to EU economic sanctions targeting Russia, European organizations that used the commercial version of OnlyOffice were prohibited from doing so. [16]
