London-based architecture practice Haworth Tompkins has replaced Microsoft SharePoint and Dropbox Business with a self-hosted Nextcloud instance, reducing annual SaaS expenditure by approximately £18,000. The firm's IT lead cited improved control over BIM file versioning and client data residency compliance under UK GDPR as key drivers. Integration with the practice's existing Synology NAS infrastructure was completed in under three weeks using Nextcloud's AIO Docker deployment method.
