[.c-title-3]The best alternative to [.c-red]US-based cloud solutions[.c-red][.c-title-3]
EU government agencies need suitable legal alternatives to US-based cloud services such as Microsoft Teams and Slack. With Skype for Business shutting down, organizations are turning to Rocket.Chat as an on-premise or sovereign cloud alternative with mission-critical data sovereignty features.
“We couldn’t use a cloud-based solution because of legislative, policy, and security requirements. We needed something very similar, but more secure.”
