eXo Platform 7.1: The Open-Source, Sovereign Solution Redefining the User Experience

PARIS - Nov. 20, 2025 - PRLog -- eXo Platform, a leading provider of open-source, secure intranet and digital workplace solutions, announces the release of eXo Platform 7.1, a version focused on user experience and seamless collaboration.

Following the complete modernization of its technical foundation in eXo 7.0, this release introduces a more intuitive, higher-performing, and people-centered platform.

"With eXo 7.1, we've moved from a modern, high-performance platform to a truly seamless and unified experience. The user is now at the center of digital collaboration," explains Veronika Mazour Mestrallet, co-founder and CEO of eXo Platform.

A Human-Centered, Efficiency-Oriented Version

Built around four key areas, eXo 7.1 redefines how teams work and interact daily:

• Documents: Redesigned management system with thumbnail and tree views, drag-and-drop folder import, offline mode, network drive connection, and more — enabling work anywhere without interruption.
• Productivity: Personalized workspaces, intelligent unified search, a revamped app center, and quick actions and shortcuts for significant time savings.
• Chat: Richer, more interactive team communication powered by Matrix, including reactions, message replies, voice messages, push and sound notifications, and full-screen mode.
• Engagement: Forum-style activity feeds, decentralized engagement campaigns, and quest gadgets to boost motivation and team cohesion.

A Modern, Interoperable, and Extensible Platform

eXo 7.1 integrates the latest technologies (JDK 21, Tomcat 10, Spring 6, Spring Boot 3.1, ElasticSearch 8.14.3, OnlyOffice 9.1, and more), enhancing stability, security, and compatibility.

Administrators benefit from new customization options, advanced user management, and no-code configuration of authentication pages for complete platform control.

"Our clients are looking for digital environments that are sovereign, interoperable, unified, and usage-centered. eXo 7.1 meets all these needs — whether for a modern intranet, collaborative platform, social network, or employee portal — by combining technological innovation and user experience," adds Veronika Mazour Mestrallet.

The Open-Source, Sovereign Alternative to Microsoft 365

Offering a European, ethical, and comprehensive alternative to Microsoft 365, eXo Platform reinforces its unique position in the digital workplace market.

Available in both Enterprise (EE) and Community (CE) editions — in private cloud, SecNumCloud, or on-premise — eXo 7.1 is designed for organizations seeking technological independence and sustainable collaborative experiences.
