“We are delighted to welcome the Crust platform to our App Center family” says Nico Gulden, Product Manager Apps at Univention. “We’re always on the look out for open source alternatives to major proprietary vendors that increase the options of choice for our users on their way to Digital Sovereignty.”

“As not just a partner of, but also an investor in Crust Technology, releasing the platform on Univention is a notable step for us” adds Peter Gietz, CEO of DAASI International. “It is becoming increasingly important that major applications treat the subject of identity as key to their success. Being available on UCS opens doors to markets that appreciate both customer and digital sovereignty by default.”
