Global Enterprises trust Pexip & Rocket.Chat

Looking for a Skype for Business replacement?

In 2021, Microsoft retired Skype for Business; announcing MS Teams as its official replacement.

While some organizations had no problem with simply migrating to MS Teams for chat and video collaboration, others faced a challenging scenario.

If you were previously on the on-premise version of Skype for Business (Skype for Business Server) due to operating in a highly regulated environment (often handling sensitive business or customer data), switching to MS Teams came with heavy compromises on data privacy, security and ownership.

Rocket.Chat and Pexip have come together to fill this gap and provide an integrated chat and video conferencing platform that enables secure and compliant on-premise collaboration.

“Slack wasn’t a real alternative for us at that time, because it was SaaS. ”

“For data privacy concerns, we needed something that we could host ourselves. Rocket.Chat really speeds up the process of collaborating with our external partners, as well as internally. It allows us to share information really fast, very effectively, and in different ways.”
