La Suite numérique brings together the French State's free software collaboration tools, developed and run by DINUM. Outside the State, Docs, Visio and Grist install on servers rented in your name. Hebeko installs them, connects them to your directory and trains your staff. This page also covers where each tool stands and who can use the State-hosted services.
Docs, Visio and Grist install with Docker Compose or Kubernetes, on servers rented in your name. Fichiers needs Kubernetes and does not yet sync files to computers. For that use, Nextcloud is more complete, and both can run side by side, for example Nextcloud for files and Visio for meetings.
We inventory your Microsoft 365 usage, install the chosen components, connect them to your directory and train staff and referents.
Versions published on GitHub, checked on 18 October 2026.
Instant messaging for public employees, on the Matrix protocol. Private messages are end-to-end encrypted, and the service holds a security accreditation. Outside people can be invited, with limited rights.
Video conferencing for up to 150 participants, hosted in SecNumCloud. Version 1.34. Meeting transcription and summaries are in beta. Installs with Kubernetes or Docker Compose.
Collaborative writing, with export to PDF, Word and ODT. Version 6.0. Developed with the German centre ZenDiS and built into openDesk in Germany and MijnBureau in the Netherlands.
Spreadsheets and small databases, published by the US company Grist Labs under the Apache 2.0 licence, with contributions from DINUM and ANCT. Over 15,000 State employees use it, according to the State instance.
Document storage and sharing, with co-editing through OnlyOffice. Version 0.24. It works in the browser, with no sync to the computer, and installs only with Kubernetes.
Email of the Suite territoriale, with shared mailboxes, calendar, contacts and a mobile app. Version 0.10. 258 local authorities use it, according to ANCT. It cannot be read in Thunderbird or Outlook.
Employees sign in to all these tools with ProConnect, the State's professional identity.
The services hosted by DINUM are reserved for State employees and their invited partners.
Since spring 2026, ANCT has offered French municipalities under 3,500 inhabitants and inter-municipal bodies under 15,000 the Suite territoriale. It includes a compliant domain name, the Messages email and the Fichiers storage space.
Other organisations, large local authorities, public bodies outside that scope, non-profits or companies, can install their own instance of the published software and run it under their own responsibility.
Not the services hosted by DINUM, which are reserved for State employees. It can install Docs, Visio or Grist on its own servers, or choose Nextcloud, more complete today for files.
Municipalities under 3,500 inhabitants and inter-municipal bodies under 15,000 go through ANCT's Suite territoriale. Larger authorities install their own instance or combine Nextcloud and Visio.
