Email security | Webmail | opensource

Alinto, the European provider of email services and security solutions, becomes the reference for SOGo, the opensource webmail. As of May 2022, the editor provides both support service & cloud hosting of the opensource webmail SOGo. Created in 1998 by a German company, then taken over in 2009 by Inverse Inc (Montreal) and supported by a community of 1,450 people worldwide, the software now has more than 25,000 deployments.

In addition to the webmail, Alinto offers a complete solution with an administration tool that was expected by customers attached to opensource solutions such as the editor of the collaborative platform Jamespot.

A sovereign alternative to GAFAM messaging companies

Alinto, The European provider of email services and security solutions invests in opensource by taking over the SOGo webmail

For several years, Alinto has been consolidating its position as an international player in secure professional messaging. The involvement in the SOGo webmail confirms Alinto’s ambition to offer its customers a European, opensource and sovereign alternative to GAFAM.

The opensource is an additional argument that convinced the editor to carry the project. Indeed, Alinto has always wanted to develop an opensource solution. This opportunity is the occasion to launch a solution that benefits from a large community and active contributors, as well as years of experience guaranteeing its reliability.

For the Alinto teams, opensource grants customers the choice of digital sovereignty and the willingness to offer them a serious alternative to GAFAM.

Many Alinto customers have already chosen SOGo (international operators, local authorities, private sector companies…).
