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".

Description
Matrix is an open-source initiative that establishes a standard for secure and decentralized real-time communication, along with its reference implementations licensed under Apache. It offers straightforward HTTP APIs and SDKs for various platforms, including iOS, Android, and Web, enabling users to create chat rooms, direct messages, and chatbots, all featuring end-to-end encryption, file transfers, synchronized conversation histories, formatted messages, and read receipts. By utilizing advanced end-to-end encryption through the Olm and Megolm cryptographic systems, Matrix guarantees that only designated recipients can access your messages, while also providing alerts for any unrecognized devices added to chats. The project's name reflects its capability to connect different communication platforms into a unified global network. Central to Matrix's functionality are bridges, which are designed to be user-friendly, allowing developers to easily create integrations that connect various services. This innovative approach fosters a truly interconnected communication landscape, thereby enhancing user experience and accessibility across multiple platforms.
