The reason for GOnnect

Developed for corporate use

GOnnect offers companies and public authorities a platform for their critical communications. The software integrates seamlessly into existing IT infrastructures, creating a basis for daily collaboration. The focus lies on integration, operational reliability and control and ownership of your own data.

Digital sovereignty

GOnnect offers companies a communication solution that consistently focuses on digital sovereignty. While proprietary cloud solutions often remain a black box, GOnnect offers absolute transparency and independence thanks to being 100% open source. For organisations that value security and sovereignty, GOnnect is a reliable foundation for actively living digital sovereignty.

100 % open source – 100 % control

GOnnect is entirely open source. As such, the entire source code is publicly accessible and can be reviewed, improved and further developed by anyone. It is this transparency that creates trust, as potentially unwanted functions can be viewed and changed at any time.

Based on the open source licence used, GOnnect can be accessed without restriction and used flexibly. GOnnect is consistently committed to a genuine open source model: 100% transparency and no artificial restrictions through pro features or proprietary add-ons.

We combine the dynamics of an active community with the demands of corporate use. While the community continuously drives new features and security updates, the team behind GOnnect secures the strategic roadmap as well as professional support and consulting.

For you, this translates into true digital sovereignty without vendor lock-in.

Cross-platform networking

GOnnect relies on open standards, promotes collaboration across OS boundaries and breaks down proprietary silos. With consistent interoperability and open standards, the solution also integrates into mixed Linux and Windows environments.

Modern UI – Focused on the essentials

Function meets design: GOnnect offers a tidy, intuitive user interface that implements modern UI principles without appearing overwhelming. Users quickly find their way around and benefit from a clearly structured, user-friendly environment.

The design does not distract, but supports efficient and focused workflows. No excessive gimmicks, no distractions. GOnnect focuses entirely on what matters: efficient communication and straightforward usability.

High-performance & sovereign: The functions at a glance

Enterprise telephony

GOnnect offers numerous functions for professional voice communication in a corporate environment. In addition to traditional telephony, there are lots of other useful tools to make your everyday work easier.

Integrated call forwarding ensures that you can always be contacted, even when you are on the move. The optional video conferencing tool allows you to turn a call into a video conference with multiple participants. The busy status indicator shows at a glance whether the person you are calling is currently on the phone. Various information sources can be integrated.

The system’s behaviour during active calls can be configured as required. For example, you can specify that callers should hear a busy tone if you are already on the line.

Several address book sources are provided for accessing contacts. Active Directory, LDAP, and CardDAV enable direct access to relevant contact data. Different identities can be defined for outgoing calls, allowing you to flexibly decide which phone number to use when calling external parties.

With configurable buttons, you can control functions such as call queues or call forwarding directly from the interface – without any complicated steps.

GOnnect thus offers a fully developed telephony solution that works reliably and can be precisely adapted to your organisational and technical processes.

Seamlessly transition from a phone call to a video conference with Jitsi Meet

Sometimes a phone call is not enough. GOnnect allows you to transfer an ongoing conversation directly to a Jitsi Meet video conference with just one click. The switch is made without interruption, media disruption or detours via external tools – saving time and creating noticeable flexibility in everyday work.

This feature proves to be a major advantage, especially in dynamic teams, during spontaneous meetings or in hybrid working models. Users remain in the familiar operating environment, while communication is effortlessly taken to the next level. Screen sharing, additional participants or visual presentations can be started directly from the call.

The integration is based on open standards and fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures. At the same time, control over data and systems remains completely intact. For businesses, this means maximum functionality, full sovereignty and a consistent user experience.

On-premises availability for maximum control

GOnnect is an on-premises solution, giving companies full control over their communication infrastructure. Local installation minimises the risk of unwanted external data access and ensures that all security and compliance requirements are met.

Furthermore, on-premises use allows the software to be customised to the individual requirements of your company. You determine which functions are activated, how integration with other systems takes place, and how updates are installed.

You can completely avoid using cloud service providers. With GOnnect, you can establish reliable, secure and flexible communication that fits perfectly into your IT architecture and guarantees you complete control over your data and systems.

Provisioning & Integration

GOnnect integrates seamlessly into modern computer workplaces and offers numerous functions that make everyday work noticeably easier. The focus is not only on pure telephony, but on the entire user experience.

Developed for use in professional environments, GOnnect does not require complicated configurations by the end user. Thanks to consistent provisioning capabilities, you can distribute preconfigured profiles to the clients via your central management system.

Whether LDAP connection, headset support or Jitsi integration – GOnnect blends into your IT infrastructure instead of creating new silos.

Busy lights automatically signal active calls and promote concentrated work. The audio settings can be flexibly adjusted – either through individually defined profiles or centrally controlled by the system.

When a call comes in, media content is automatically paused so that you can fully focus on the conversation.

Important functions such as favourites and frequently used contacts are directly accessible at any time via the system tray. GOnnect can also be efficiently integrated into desktop searches – both via the GNOME search provider and via the KRunner plugin.

Comfort features such as automatic start-up, user-defined desktop actions or global keyboard shortcuts are also supported, provided they are available on the respective system.

During an ongoing call, the screen saver is deactivated, and telephone and SIP links are recognised system-wide and opened directly without additional configuration. The application also adapts seamlessly in terms of appearance: light and dark design modes are fully supported, ensuring a consistent look and feel.
