Why choose open source for corporate instant messaging?
Internal communication is a strategic issue these days. That's why instant messaging for businesses is an essential tool. Yet many companies continue to rely on proprietary solutions that are often expensive and inflexible.
Problems and issues identified :
- Loss of data sovereignty
Many companies use tools hosted outside Europe, such as Slack or Teams, which poses risks for confidentiality and compliance with the RGPD. - High cost of proprietary licences
Proprietary SaaS solutions, billed on a per-user basis, are expensive on a large scale and offer little scope for customisation. - Lack of customisation
Closed tools are poorly adapted to the specific needs and internal processes of different organisations. - Technological dependency
Choosing a closed solution limits the company and makes migration difficult, costly or risky for the data.
