About Collaboard
Collaboard is a professional online whiteboard platform developed by the Swiss IT firm IBV Informatik, Beratungs und Vertriebs AG. Founded in 1981, the company provides a highly secure environment for remote team collaboration, specifically targeting regulated industries such as healthcare, insurance, and the public sector. The platform allows users to conduct brainstorming, workshops, and complex project planning on an infinite digital canvas. The service distinguishes itself from global competitors by offering flexible deployment models, including shared cloud, private cloud, and full on-premise installation behind a corporate firewall. This flexibility is paired with a strong focus on European data sovereignty, utilizing data centers in Switzerland and Germany. While the software itself is proprietary, its architecture is built on modern microservices (Docker/Kubernetes), ensuring it can run across various infrastructures while maintaining strict GDPR compliance and Swiss security standards.
