What is nest54?
nest54 is a browser-based collaboration platform. It brings files, office documents, chat, video meetings, calendars, task boards, polls, and email together in shared workspaces—for your own team and for collaborating with clients and partners from other organizations.
Who is nest54 for?
For small and mid-sized businesses, agencies, trades and construction, law and accounting firms, associations, training providers, and public administration—anywhere projects involve external stakeholders and documents, decisions, and schedules need to live in one place.
Where is my data stored?
nest54 is operated as a cloud service on servers in Germany. Office, video meetings, and transcription run on these servers; files are stored encrypted with a dedicated key per organization.
Do I need to install anything?
No. nest54 runs entirely in the browser, including office and video meetings. Guests can join video meetings without an account. You can also sync calendars and contacts with popular apps.
Can I invite clients and partners?
Yes. External users can join as read-only guests, with an account from their own organization, or via share links. The data stays with the organization that created the workspace. Each organization decides for itself who it may collaborate with.
Does sign-in work with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or Google?
Yes. Organizations sign in via OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 through their own identity provider. With SCIM 2.0, the identity provider automatically creates, updates, and deactivates accounts and groups.
Is nest54 an alternative to Nextcloud, Slack, or Microsoft Teams?
nest54 covers file storage, office, chat, video, calendars, and tasks in a single product, with a focus on projects that span multiple organizations. It's especially well suited to teams that want these tools in one place, hosted in Germany.
Which languages does nest54 support?
The interface is available in English and German; everyone chooses their own language and preferred date format.
