Freiraum GmbH, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, reached out to Devico for expert assistance with developing a modern document management tool from scratch. So, our dedicated team of 7 frontend and backend developers and a software architect joined the project at its outset. We designed a strategy and an architecture, set up processes, and tackled all aspects of the project development.
Working on this application, we faced a few challenges. One of them was related to the need to comply with local regulations. Since the tool targeted the German market, we were restricted to using only those third-party services that stored and processed data within Germany. The sole exception was Google Vision. This imposed a serious hurdle that we addressed by deploying a self-hosted OnlyOffice.
