The NGO GAIACT Network wanted to provide its members with a collaborative tool to facilitate internal work, while offering an alternative to GAFAM that reflects their ecological and ethical values. We deployed an open-source tool (Nextcloud) that we customized and optimized, then hosted on our Digital Forest servers to ensure the most environmentally friendly digital approach possible.

The GAIACT Connect collaborative tool offers them features such as online video conferencing, calendars, email access, project management tools, data storage, and much more. It's an all-in-one tool that allows them to centralize all digital information and interactions.

Work carried out:

• Open-source deployment
• Graphic design and user interface
• Hosting - Digital Forest

Environmental performance:

• Compliance with RGESN: 92%
• Compliance with RGAA: 89%
• EcoIndex: Ecoscore A or B across all pages
• GreenWeb Index: NC (not disclosed)
• Ecological hosting with Digital Forest: 0% water usage (WUE = 0), 95% refurbished servers, 100% hydroelectric energy, 200% climate contribution. PUE = 1.25. CUE = -0.62 (the data center generates more electricity than it consumes).
