The requirements for modern email and collaboration solutions are evolving rapidly. More and more organizations are reassessing their existing infrastructure—whether due to rising licensing costs, increasing dependency on individual vendors, or the need to modernize aging systems.

As an IT service provider, we see it as our responsibility not only to keep up with technological developments but to actively invest in them. A key part of this commitment is the continuous development of our technical expertise through ongoing training and certification.

We are therefore pleased to announce that our Managing Director, Mathias Rumbold, has successfully achieved the grommunio Certified Engineer certification.

Why We Believe in grommunio

At ForgeOne, we continuously evaluate modern open-source technologies that provide long-term value for our customers. In the field of email and collaboration, we see grommunio as one of the most promising alternatives to established platforms such as Microsoft Exchange.

grommunio combines email, calendars, contacts, and collaboration features in a powerful platform built on open standards. It offers organizations the flexibility to deploy the solution on-premises, in a private cloud, or as a managed service—depending on their individual requirements.

Most importantly, grommunio enables organizations to reduce dependency on a single software vendor while maintaining full control over their data and infrastructure. For businesses looking to build a flexible, future-proof IT environment, these advantages are becoming increasingly important.

Strengthening Our Technical Expertise

Successfully implementing modern collaboration platforms requires much more than product knowledge. It demands a deep understanding of system architecture, integration scenarios, and the practical challenges organizations face every day.

With the grommunio Certified Engineer certification, we are further expanding our technical capabilities. This allows us to support our customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their grommunio projects—from evaluation and planning to implementation, migration, and long-term operation.

Expanding Our Training Portfolio

In addition to consulting and implementation services, we are currently expanding our service portfolio.

In the near future, ForgeOne will also offer grommunio training courses for administrators and IT professionals. These trainings are designed to help organizations build the expertise required to deploy, manage, and maintain grommunio environments with confidence.

Our goal is not only to provide the right technology but also to empower our customers with the knowledge they need to operate their collaboration platform successfully over the long term.

Looking Ahead

The successful certification of our Managing Director is another step in strengthening ForgeOne's expertise in modern collaboration technologies.

We look forward to supporting organizations in building secure, flexible, and future-ready collaboration environments—and to expanding our grommunio services with professional training offerings in the near future.
