History
In 2009, a group of software developers from Ascensio System SIA (Latvian-based) and New Communication Technologies (Russian-based) launched a project called TeamLab, a platform for internal team collaboration.[15]
In March 2012, TeamLab introduced the first HTML5-based online document editors at CeBIT.[16]
In July 2014, TeamLab Office was officially rebranded to OnlyOffice.[17][18]
In March 2016, the developers released a free desktop application – OnlyOffice Desktop Editors.[19]
In August 2023, OnlyOffice opened a holding company in Singapore and incorporated all the existing branches (those in Latvia, US, UK, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Serbia) under the one brand. Ascensio System SIA was to become 100% owned by the British-based Ascensio System Ltd, which in its turn was to become 100% owned by OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. The beneficiaries of OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. are listed in the registry of Singapore companies by ACRA.[20]
In February 2023,[21][22] OnlyOffice released the first version of the ChatGPT plugin.[23] In January 2024, version 1.1.4 of the plugin was released which provided new tools for document editing and access to GPT-4.[24]
In November 2024,[25] OnlyOffice launched Virtual Data Rooms for file security with automated indexing and content tracking.[26]
