Built for your use case

For your organization — built to fit.

Municipal intranet & extranet

Connect every department, office, and institution in one digital workplace — and give each its own protected space. As an umbrella organization, create separate sub-networks per institution, and invite citizens or external partners into scoped extranet groups.

Top-down communication & business processes

Push mandatory announcements that reach everyone, then run the work that follows — Kanban boards, task management, project dashboards, roles, and document approvals — all connected to the conversation.

Member knowledge base

For associations and networks — bring members, partners, and experts onto one platform where everyday Q&A becomes a growing, verified knowledge base. Highlight the best answers so collective expertise compounds over time.

Scale without rethinking your license

Built to grow with whole administrations, federations, and member networks — no per-seat ceiling, no surprise tiers.

The portal

Social intranet portal

The problem

Your teams are drowning in disconnected tools.

Email for announcements. A separate tool for calls. Chat apps for quick questions. File shares for documents. A wiki nobody updates. Knowledge scattered across five logins — half of it sitting in someone's inbox.

Every tool adds another contract, another security review, another place for information to get lost. And most store your data on infrastructure you don't control.

There's a simpler, safer way.

The solution

Everything your organization needs to communicate, collaborate, and stay compliant — in one place.

Communication Node replaces a stack of separate tools with a single platform built for security-first organizations. Web, desktop, and mobile apps, fully customizable, ready for the public sector, associations, and regulated industries.

Seven pillars, one login

Document Workflows

A sovereign alternative to cloud office documents.

Secure Communication

Meetings and teamwork without consumer tools.

AI Knowledge Base

A wiki that answers back — the decisive difference.

Project & Process Management

Kanban, tasks, and approvals — built right in.

Branded Network

Your network in your brand — custom domain, custom branding, fully under your control.

Document Workflows

Create, co-edit, and govern documents without sending them to a third-party cloud.

Work on doc(x), xls(x), and ppt(x) files directly in the platform. Every version tracked, every change notified, the current version always the one your team sees.

Online co-editing of common office formats

Edit simultaneously — no more emailing attachments back and forth.

Automatic versioning with comparison

Who changed what — visible at a glance.

Full-text search, tags & comments

Find files, not hunt for them.

Meetings and group rooms — no external services needed.

Team and group calendars with Outlook integration

Scheduling that fits into existing workflows.

Open, closed, and secret working groups

Every group with its own dashboard and permissions.

AI Knowledge Base

Ask a question. Get the answer — with the source.

Most secure intranet platforms still ship a classic, search-by-keyword wiki. Communication Node is AI-native — the knowledge your people create becomes instantly findable and usable for everyone.

This is where Communication Node goes beyond the rest. A structured wiki and knowledge base, supercharged with AI: instead of hunting through pages, your team asks in plain language and gets answers drawn from your own documents, wikis, and discussions.

AI assistant with citations

Answers from your organization's own knowledge — with a reference to the original source.

Semantic search

Understands intent, not just keywords — finds what you mean.

Auto-summaries & suggested articles

Actively fight knowledge loss — relevant content surfaces itself.

WYSIWYG editor, templates, structure & versioning

Build and maintain knowledge — as simply as a text editor.

Granular permissions & change notifications

Full control over who sees what and who is notified about changes.

Conversations become verified knowledge

Everyday answers turn into reusable, verified knowledge.

FAQ

Is Communication Node really GDPR-compliant?

Yes — built for it from the ground up, hosted in Germany/EU in certified data centres, with no third-party cloud storage, encrypted databases, and regular backups. Your data never leaves your control.

Can we host it on our own servers?

Yes. On-premise installation is available alongside the hosted option — important for public-sector bodies, associations, and organizations with strict data-protection requirements.

Is there a limit on users or participants?

No. Designed to scale across entire organizations and member networks without per-seat caps — 30,000+ members per instance in production.

How is the AI Knowledge Base different from a normal wiki?

A wiki stores pages you have to search through. Communication Node answers questions in plain language using your own content — and shows you the source.

Can we bring in external partners securely?

Yes. External users can be scoped to a single group, with no access to anything else on the platform. Collaborate with third parties without exposing internal data.
