At XWiki, we build two open-source products used by thousands of organisations around the globe. Companies like Amazon and Lenovo trust the XWiki product to manage their knowledge and work better together. CryptPad provides end-to-end encrypted collaboration while keeping all data private. Apart from building products and applications, our teams also develop customisations and solutions to fit our clients' needs, offer support and cloud services, and work on innovative research projects with commercial partners and academia.
We care both about:
- What we build: scalable, extensible products and services that are privacy respectful, with no lock-in.
