If your team uses Microsoft Exchange while also working with Nextcloud, you know the challenge of keeping calendars and contacts synchronized across both platforms. Many businesses rely heavily on Exchange, often in combination with Outlook, for their daily work, but they also value Nextcloud’s collaboration features.

That’s where the Nextcloud Exchange Connector from Sendent steps in. It synchronizes your calendars and contacts between Microsoft Exchange and Nextcloud, ensuring your information is up to date whether you’re working in Outlook or Nextcloud.

Where is Microsoft Exchange exactly for?

Microsoft Exchange is a mail server and collaboration platform developed by Microsoft. It enables organizations tomanage email, share and schedule calendars, store contact information and task management.

Exchange works with many different email clients. While Microsoft Outlook is most commonly used, you can also access Exchange through Outlook on the web, Apple Mail, or open source alternatives like Mozilla Thunderbird or Zimbra desktop – and many more.

What does it actually do

The Nextcloud Exchange Connector works quietly in the background, keeping your calendars and contacts synchronized between Exchange and Nextcloud. When someone schedules a meeting in Outlook or updates a contact, these changes automatically appear in Nextcloud, and vice versa.

We don’t include email synchronization because mail in Nextcloud can already be accessed directly through IMAP.

Why teams love it

  • Keep using your familiar mail client: Your team can continue working in familiar mail application while staying synchronized with Nextcloud
  • Real-time updates: Schedule a meeting in your mail client, and it appears in Nextcloud instantly
  • Flexible setup: Works with your Exchange server, whether it’s on-premises or cloud-based
  • No double entry: Update a contact once, and it syncs across both systems

Real-world benefits

Here’s a typical scenario: Your sales team lives in Outlook, managing their calendars and client contacts there all day. Meanwhile, other departments collaborate through Nextcloud. Without synchronization, coordinating meetings becomes a hassle, and contactlists get outdated. The Exchange Connector solves this by keeping everything in sync automatically.

It’s especially valuable for teams who:

  • Rely on your mail client for their daily work
  • Schedule meetings across different departments
  • Share calendars with team members
  • Need their Exchange calendars and contacts available in Nextcloud
  • Want to maintain their familiar mail client workflow while leveraging Nextcloud’s features

Introducing new software can be challenging, especially when it affects daily workflows like checking calendars and scheduling meetings. The Nextcloud Exchange Connector helps smooth this transition by ensuring users retain access to all their important calendar and contact information in both systems.

What’s next

Why switch between platforms when you can have your information synchronized automatically? The Exchange Connector bridges the gap between Exchange and Nextcloud, making life simpler for everyone.
