Why XWiki?
More Than a Wiki. A Platform for Enterprise Knowledge
XWiki combines free-form documentation with structured data, powerful search, versioning, and granular permissions. This creates a knowledge platform that adapts to your organization – not the other way around.

Capture enterprise knowledge in a structured way, maintain it collaboratively, and keep it permanently findable.
Documentation & Processes
Centrally manage processes, work instructions, IT operations procedures, policies, and technical documentation.
Intranet & Portals
Internal knowledge areas, help centers, and audience-specific portals on an open platform.
Structured Applications
Forms, classes, data models, workflows, and extensions go far beyond traditional wiki pages.
Identity & Integration
LDAP, Active Directory, FreeIPA, Keycloak, SAML, OpenID Connect, and open interfaces.
Operations & Support
Licensing, installation, updates, backup, monitoring, and support by ForgeOne.
Stronger Together
XWiki and OpenProject as an Open Alternative to Confluence and Jira
XWiki focuses on enterprise knowledge, documentation, and structured content. In combination with OpenProject, it also provides a powerful platform for projects, tasks, and collaboration – on-premises or in your private cloud.
This enables companies not only to replace Confluence with XWiki, but also to build an open and self-hosted alternative to Jira together with OpenProject.
On-Premises Collaboration
Knowledge. Structured.
XWiki
XWiki serves as the central platform for knowledge management and documentation. ForgeOne integrates XWiki into a shared identity and operating environment – with centralized authentication and operations under your own control.
OpenProject
OpenProject complements the platform with project, task, and ticket management. Through ForgeOne’s integration, projects and tasks are directly connected to existing knowledge – open, centralized, and under your own control.
Confluence Alternative
From Confluence to XWiki – Structured and Without Being Forced into the Cloud
ForgeOne analyzes your Confluence environment, evaluates macros, attachments, permissions, and page structures, and uses this to plan a reliable migration path to XWiki Enterprise.
Cristal Frontend
Modern Frontend. Powerful XWiki in the Background
- clear, streamlined presentation for knowledge portals
- responsive use on desktop and mobile devices
- separation of the editorial backend and public frontend
- suitable for knowledge bases, technical documentation, and help centers
