We have collaborated with Jalios multiple times and have already integrated solutions to meet the needs of our common customers. Open Suite accelerates this collaboration by integrating BlueMind instant messaging tools.

Artem Avdeev, ONLYOFFICE Sales Team Leader (Europe, Middle East, and Africa):
The ONLYOFFICE office suite provides many of the assets identified by Jalios in 2019, and we have worked together to create a smooth and efficient collaborative experience. Editing and co editing documents, presentations, or spreadsheets are natural in both individual and collective workflows within Jalios Open Suite. We look forward to expanding our cooperation in the future.
For video conferencing, the Jalios Open Suite product is based on an open-source Jitsi solution that integrates with its JCall application, providing a very smooth user path for video conferencing from multiple locations: email, online chat, people's profiles, etc. Other functional modules are provided natively by the Jalios solution, but if necessary, other solutions can always be integrated. The interoperability and openness capability of Jalios technology foundation is one of the main assets of editors.
It also benefits from the numerous additional components provided in the Jalios market, including digital learning, gamification, machine translation, commercial EDM integration, and more. It will soon showcase the latest innovations of publishers, especially in the field of generative artificial intelligence. This editor is the first JNLP application in the French market to integrate generative AI into its products, integrating solutions from various participants, including sovereign and open source participants. Once again, this approach is implemented by the publisher's dynamic partner ecosystem.
Nicolas Turlay, Alliance Manager of Jalios:
In France, we are fortunate to have a very rich and mature network of high-quality digital participants, from solution providers to ESNs, hosting companies, and consulting firms, providing highly competitive products. Fast growing software publishers like Jalios must contribute to the dynamics of such an ecosystem. This is a win-win situation, which ultimately means bringing more added value to our customers.
