Paris, June 12, 2025 – eXo Platform, a French provider of open-source intranet and digital workplace solutions, today announced a new partnership with BlueMind, the sovereign, open-source collaborative email platform for enterprises.
The goal of this partnership is to deliver native integration of BlueMind within the eXo Platform digital workplace through a dedicated connector, enabling users to access, manage and interact with their BlueMind emails directly from their eXo digital workplace.
A sovereign alternative to Big Tech platforms.
At a time when digital sovereignty has become a strategic priority amid an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape, the partnership between eXo and BlueMind provides organizations with a concrete alternative to reduce their dependence on proprietary Big Tech solutions, particularly Microsoft 365.
“This partnership with BlueMind is fully aligned with our strategy: building an ecosystem of sovereign, open-source and independent solutions around our digital workplace, while offering a comprehensive alternative to proprietary Big Tech platforms. Together, we are reaffirming our commitment to a unified, sovereign collaboration platform that enables organizations to retain full control over their tools and data,” said Veronika Mazour Mestrallet, co-founder and CEO of eXo Platform.
“With eXo, we share the same vision: a digital ecosystem that is controlled, sovereign, sustainable and independent, built to serve users. This connector is another step toward a French, open and interoperable collaboration ecosystem. User experience is also at the core of BlueMind’s DNA. Enabling users to manage their emails without leaving their working environment makes the experience more seamless and delivers significant productivity gains,” said Pierre Baudracco, President of BlueMind.
A unified user experience.
Thanks to this new connector, users can access their BlueMind email directly from the eXo digital workplace without leaving their eXo working environment. They receive real-time notifications when new emails arrive, can read messages directly within the platform, and reply instantly.
By bringing email and collaboration together in a single workspace, the solution delivers a unified user experience that enhances productivity and simplifies everyday work.
