2 new office locations
Along with our European office in Riga (Latvia), we opened another branch in the mainland Europe in Belgrade (Serbia) to expand our development group for ONLYOFFICE integrations and find new talents. This way we broadened our international team in the place which represents an important crossroad between Europe, Asia and Africa.
Furthermore, to incorporate all our existing branches under the ONLYOFFICE brand, we registered the holding company in Singapore.
