Never heard of open desk...
Why not pick the typical LibreOffice?
opendesk is eu driven backed by funding specifically for enterprise and government institutions.
they seem to do different things. The opendesk website tells me that besides documents they also do identity management, email, cloud storage and videocalls.
I mean sure. But what is the quality of those services, specially since this is kind of an unknown software in the Linux world...
They use collabora online for document editing (you self host this service). Collabora is LibreOffice based.
Although they didn't pick LibreOffice, the project which I personally use, a move from the entire ICC to choose opensource software is insane. Hopefully, and likely any funding they will do to improve software will go to the opensource community
