CollabNext is a French office and collaboration suite built around Jamespot's digital workplace and extended with partner components: Alinto for email, Glowbl for video conferencing, XWiki for document management and Wallix for single sign-on. It targets public and private organisations looking for an alternative to Microsoft 365 and is delivered as a cloud service, with infrastructure and platform layers from Outscale and Clever Cloud.

Jamespot is a French company (SAS) with its registered office in Montreuil. CollabNext emerged from the French government's France 2030 programme and is built by a consortium of French software companies. According to Jamespot, the applications are hosted by Outscale. The suite is designed to meet GDPR and SecNumCloud requirements, the standard defined by the French security agency ANSSI, and is positioned as protecting sensitive data against extraterritorial laws. For a European organisation, this means the chain from application to infrastructure sits with European providers.
