One vendor.
Total accountability.
VNClagoon is engineered, financed, and maintained by VNC AG — the single point of entry, and the final point of responsibility, for the entire sovereign workplace stack.
Give every organisation the tools to communicate and collaborate — without surrendering control.
VNC was founded on a simple belief: organisations that handle sensitive work need sovereign alternatives to hyperscaler suites. Not only for compliance — because control over your own data is a right. Since 2010 we've built that alternative from the ground up: open source, transparent, accountable.
Six convictions the platform is built on.
Sovereignty is a right, not a feature
No organisation should have to surrender control of its data to hold a conversation or run its business.
Open source is the only honest foundation
Code you can inspect is the only code you can trust. Verified by community and regular audit — not by vendor promise.
Privacy is the precondition for innovation
Security and privacy aren't a tax on progress. They're what let people and businesses create freely.
Autonomy means owning the whole stack
Software code, hosting, identity, encryption — control belongs to the user, not the platform beneath them.
No provider belongs between people and their information
Communication should be free and uncensored — shared securely and privately within a global community.
The future of business software is open
Closed, monopolised suites are the past. Sovereign and open source is the direction the market is already moving.
How we deliver on it.
Share the source
Major components of the VNClagoon stack are shared, source-open, with key customers and partners.
Support it for the long term
The stack ships as a long-term supported (LTS) release on a fairly priced subscription model.
Run it anywhere
Support and managed services to deploy, customise, integrate and operate VNClagoon in any cloud — private, public, customer, partner, or VNC-operated.
Build community
Support communities that share knowledge and exchange experience securely, with modern collaborative software.
How we build.
Open source
The VNClagoon core is built on open-source foundations. Every major component is inspectable and auditable — no black boxes, no hidden call-homes.
Sovereign by design
Sovereignty isn't a deployment option — it's the architecture. VNClagoon keeps all data, keys, and compute inside your perimeter.
Single-vendor accountability
One company. One stack. One point of contact. VNC AG designs, maintains, and warrants the entire suite — so you never negotiate between three vendors when something breaks.
No lock-in
Standard protocols — IMAP, XMPP, CalDAV, CardDAV, S3, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes. Migrate in, migrate out. The data is yours, in formats every tool understands.
Two entities, one mission.
VNC AG
Zug · Switzerland
Parent company, R&D headquarters, and IP owner.
VNC GmbH
Germany
European operations, enterprise sales, and DACH support.
Auditable to the last line.
VNClagoon is built on — and contributes back to — the open-source ecosystem. The core communication and collaboration components are fully auditable, and the infrastructure layer runs on proven open technology. You can verify every layer of the stack.
The ethics we hold each other to.
A fair and rewarding place to work is a commitment, not a perk. Six, held company-wide.
Talk to the people who built it.
No account executives, no SDRs. Our engineers and product architects take the first call — so you spend the time understanding the stack, not filling out contact forms.
