2025-06-11: Replace Microsoft Teams with Matrix & Element

In a time when data protection, digital sovereignty, and cost control are more important than ever, many companies are looking for a real alternative to Microsoft Teams. As an IT service provider, I offer exactly that: a powerful, modern communication solution – based on the Matrix protocol and the open-source Element interface.

🧩 What is Element – and what is Matrix?
  • Element X / Element Web is the front-end interface for messaging, file sharing, and video conferencing – available on laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
  • Matrix Synapse is the backend – it runs on your own server and handles secure, decentralized communication.
🛡️ Full control over your data – no dependency on Microsoft

With my solution, every company runs its own communication server in a German data center. This ensures that every message, file, and call stays in-house – without being routed through U.S.-based platforms or global cloud infrastructures.

🔐 No data transfer to the USA
🚫 No Microsoft accounts or licenses required
🇩🇪 Server location: Germany – fully GDPR compliant
100% independence from U.S. corporations

Everything modern teams need
  • 💬 One-on-one and group messaging
  • 📎 Secure file sharing
  • 📞 Voice and video calls
  • 📱 Cross-platform usage (laptop, phone, tablet)
  • 🗂️ Structured rooms for teams and projects
💼 Trusted by military and governments

Matrix and Element are already in use by various military and public-sector organizations: The U.S. Navy uses Matrix on multiple ships for secure internal communication. The German Bundeswehr operates its own Matrix-based messenger (BwMessenger). Governments in France, Luxembourg, Sweden, and the German healthcare sector also rely on Matrix for secure, sovereign communication.

This is all provided on a secure, open-source foundation – flexible, transparent, and future-ready.

💸 Clear savings – year after year

Compared to Microsoft Teams, a company with 20 employees can save up to $1000 per yearwhile keeping full control over all internal communication and data.

🛠️ My offer to you
  • Setup and operation of your own Matrix instance
  • Deployment of Element Web / Element X as the user interface
  • Ongoing maintenance, security updates, and technical support
  • GDPR-compliant configuration
  • Optional: onboarding and training for your team
✅ Conclusion

With Matrix and Element, you gain a professional, secure, and cost-effective communication platform – without Microsoft, without data leakage, and without vendor lock-in.

👉 I’m happy to provide a custom quote tailored to your company size and needs.
Independent. Secure. Future-proof. – Your new communication solution.
