At The Matrix Conference 2025, I had the opportunity to present how we’re building large-scale, multi-tenancy hosting for TI-Messenger - the standard for secure communications across the German healthcare system.

Open source software powers nearly everything we build today. According to the 2024 State of the Software Supply Chain report, open source adoption continues to accelerate. This scale lets teams move fast, share knowledge, and build on proven foundations instead of starting from scratch. But it also expands the attack surface. The same openness that accelerates innovation can also invite risk.

One day, a short “Okay.” in a team chat that suddenly feels colder than an Arctic breeze. No smiley. No thumbs-up. Just that dot. In a world where remote and hybrid work have turned most of our communication into written text, the absence of facial expressions and tone leaves a lot to interpretation – often the worst one. That’s why emojis have quietly become the emotional punctuation of modern business communication.

The way Europe works and communicates is changing. Hybrid and fully remote work models are now a reality for many EU enterprises and this shift has resulted in a significantly expanded attack surface for threat actors. At the same time, regulations like the NIS2, DORA, and the EU Data Act mandate clear audit trails, sovereign data processing, and rapid breach reporting.

When did you last go through many messages to find one important piece of information? Or tried recalling which app your team likes for chatting? This is quite common, and the fact is, that not all communication tools are created equal. While the goals of Slack and Glue is similar with regard to team communications, they go about doing things in very different ways. Slack is a full-on, feature-rich experience suited to larger teams juggling several different workflows at once.

Slack gives you a new way to work with Microsoft 365 — one that's open, connected, and built for how teams actually collaborate.

AI falls short when tools aren't connected. Fragmented workflows cost time, insights, and opportunities.
