Why choose Thinkfree Office Self-hosted option?

Organizations in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, government, and education often cannot send documents through a third-party cloud. Thinkfree Office Self-hosted runs entirely within your network or your own cloud account, ensuring that every document, edit, and access log remains under your control from day one.

What is Self-hosted?
How does it work?

A self-hosted online office is an online word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation suite that runs on servers you control, whether in your own on-premise data center or in your own cloud account (Bring Your Own Cloud, or BYOC), rather than in a vendor-managed shared cloud environment.

With Thinkfree Office Self-hosted, you install the application and document editing engine within your infrastructure. Users can open, edit, and co-author Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) directly in a web browser, while every document, version history, and access log remains on servers you manage.

This is different from the Hosted API option, where Thinkfree operates the infrastructure for you.
