Office service
Operate Collabora Online with the suitable edition, resource limits and controlled upgrade path.
WZ-IT connects browser-based office editing with Nextcloud, OpenCloud or another WOPI-capable platform and handles technical operations.
The following are trademarks of their respective owners: Collabora Online (Collabora Productivity Ltd.). WZ-IT is an independent service provider and has no business, partnership, or contractual relationship with these companies. We offer independent migration, installation, hosting, and operations services.
Collabora Online provides the office editor. Files, shares and users normally remain in a connected content platform such as Nextcloud or OpenCloud.
For production use, we design the WOPI connection, allowed hosts, TLS, fonts, document conversion, resource limits and the coordinated upgrade path of both systems.
The CODE development edition is suitable for tests and smaller deployments. For larger or business-critical environments, we assess the appropriate supported Collabora Online edition and sizing.
Vendor licences and support are itemised separately. The operating price follows an assessment of users, concurrency, document types and the connected platform.
The editor is only one part of the platform. WOPI host, file storage, identities, fonts and document conversion must be tested and updated together.
Operate Collabora Online with the suitable edition, resource limits and controlled upgrade path.
Connect Nextcloud, OpenCloud or another WOPI platform through approved hosts and TLS.
Test file formats, fonts, conversion and temporary data with real documents.
Monitor, back up and update the editor and leading content platform together.
WZ-IT operates the agreed technical stack; content, business approval and document permissions remain with the customer.
| Area | Responsibility | Scope and boundaries |
|---|---|---|
| Collabora Online service | WZ-IT | Deployment, TLS, resource limits, monitoring and controlled updates. |
| WOPI connection | WZ-IT | Approved hosts, secrets, certificates and connection to the leading platform. |
| Files and permissions | Shared | The content platform supplies access and files; we validate the technical data path. |
| Document compatibility | Shared | We test representative files; the customer assesses layout, macros and business usability. |
| Content and sharing | Customer | The customer controls documents, sharing and authorised user groups. |
| Custom WOPI integration | Optional WZ-IT service | Custom portals or business applications are connected as a separate integration project. |
Open and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations in the browser with several people at once.
View and edit common office formats; compatibility and macros are assessed with your own documents.
Configure WOPI, allowed hosts and access paths for the leading file and collaboration platform.
Documents are handled in separate processes; network access, file access and permitted integrations are hardened as well.
Identity and permissions come from the connected platform, avoiding a parallel user directory.
Connect Collabora Online to WOPI-capable storage, portals and custom applications in a controlled way.
Assess existing data and configuration, migrate them in a test run and move to managed operations through a controlled cutover.
Secure SSO, roles, administrative paths and external access for the application and existing infrastructure.
Back up all stateful components consistently and document the recovery path for the agreed scope.
Monitor and update the application and its technical dependencies and operate them under the agreed service level.
A clearly defined operating scope instead of an opaque hosting flat fee.
We set up a test instance for you, usually on the next business day. No payment details required. After seven days it is deleted unless you continue.
We combine the right compute size with ongoing operations, backups, monitoring and a service level appropriate for the criticality of Collabora Online. High availability and recovery targets are designed separately where needed.
We also design custom hosting architectures, integrations and migrations around Collabora Online. Contact us for a technical assessment.
One managed standard Collabora Online application is included in the Starter workload. Business and higher levels add a flexible operations allowance for planned work during regular service hours. Select compute, additional applications, storage and the appropriate service level.
A workload is one compute instance with the applications agreed for it.
One standard app per workload is already included. Additional dedicated servers count as separate workloads.
€79.90 per started TB and month, including daily encrypted offsite backup with 7-day retention.

Briefly describe the current state and objective for Collabora Online. We assess infrastructure, integration, and ongoing operations.
Concurrent open documents, document size, conversion, fonts and the connected content platform determine capacity.
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small team with normal office usage | Assessment with test documents | Concurrent editing and typical formats are tested in practice. |
| Many concurrent editors | Dedicated sizing | Processes, CPU, memory and limits follow actual concurrency. |
| Large spreadsheets or presentations | Document benchmark | Complexity and conversion time are measured with representative files. |
| Business-critical collaboration | HA and recovery plan | Editor and content platform are treated as one service. |
Edition, concurrency and document profiles are reviewed before a binding proposal.
The editor runs close to the leading document platform over controlled WOPI paths.
Operate Collabora Online and the connected platform on European infrastructure.
Deploy in your account under existing network and security controls.
Run editor and content platform in the corporate network or data centre.
Separate placement over an approved, secured WOPI path.
Users open files in the leading platform; Collabora Online processes the approved session through WOPI.
Browser access through Nextcloud, OpenCloud or a custom portal.
Only defined platforms may request document sessions.
Sharing and identity are not managed twice in the editor.
Isolated document processes, rendering, editing and conversion.
Leading platform for files, sharing and versions.
Originals remain in the content platform and its backup.
Observe sessions, errors, conversion and resource boundaries.
CODE and supported commercial editions have different operating boundaries. We clarify the appropriate edition first.
Answers about WOPI, editions, compatibility and operations.
Yes, when another WOPI-capable platform is connected. Collabora Online is the editor, not the leading file store.
That depends on user count, concurrency and support requirements. CODE primarily targets development and smaller deployments; production requirements are assessed first.
Many formats are supported, but complex layouts, macros and specialist functions can differ. We test representative documents.
Yes. We integrate the editor with your content platform, network paths, certificates, monitoring and backup processes.
Originals normally reside in the WOPI host. Its database and storage are backed up, while Collabora configuration and secrets also form part of recovery.
As an alternative to managed hosting in the data centre, WZ-IT provides the hardware, configures Collabora Online, and handles hardening, monitoring, updates, backup and technical support. Access can be limited to the internal network or enabled through VPN and existing identities.
