Description

Element is a communications platform with security at its core, built on Matrix: a decentralised and end-to-end encrypted protocol. Element brings your teams together, boosts productivity and workplace satisfaction, while enabling complete ownership of your data. Easily collaborate with your partners, suppliers or clients with video calls and instant messaging: like email for the 21st century. You can even connect your Slack, MS Teams, WhatsApp accounts. On the other hand Element can be closed for high security environments using secure border and cross domain gateways, and even air-gapped deployments. Being built on Matrix, there is no single point of failure for the network thanks to the decentralised network architecture, making it perfect for mission-critical environments. For full data sovereignty, install Element into your own data centre or on-premise. Alternatively, let us manage your setup in our secure Element Cloud, in a region of your choice. In Forrester’s words: Element is a great fit for: "...organizations that prioritize flexibility, federation, and data sovereignty". Please contact us to explore how your business can benefit from Element.

Description

Google Chat is a cloud-based AI-powered messaging and collaboration platform built to help businesses and teams communicate more effectively while staying connected across projects and departments. Gemini AI enhances team collaboration by summarizing conversations, surfacing action items, translating messages, brainstorming ideas, and helping users quickly catch up on ongoing discussions. The platform supports direct messaging, team collaboration spaces, real-time huddles, and integrated communication tools that simplify both internal and external teamwork. Google Chat works seamlessly with Google Workspace applications including Gmail, Google Meet, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Google Tasks, allowing users to collaborate without constantly switching between apps. Persistent collaboration spaces support large-scale communication for organizations while helping teams maintain ongoing discussions, share files, and organize project-related content in one centralized environment. Businesses can also launch instant huddle meetings directly from conversations to solve problems quickly and improve decision-making in real time. The platform supports integrations with a wide range of third-party business applications including Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, Trello, Datadog, Workday, and ServiceNow to streamline workflows and centralize operational communication. Organizations can further customize workflows using Chat APIs, Apps Script, and no-code automation through Gemini in AppSheet to create tailored collaboration tools. Security features such as phishing protection, malware detection, content moderation, encryption, and real-time data loss prevention help businesses protect sensitive information while maintaining secure communication across teams.
