Security, digital sovereignty and open source as core values
As a company with a strong open source DNA, Adfinis supports organizations and government agencies in becoming independent of proprietary technologies in the long term. With a clear focus on Open sSource, security and sustainable IT architectures, Adfinis develops solutions that promote transparency, innovation and digital sovereignty.
Element Enterprise by Adfinis follows these principles and guarantees the highest security standards with a decentralized infrastructure and end-to-end encryption. Sensitive information remains under the control of users, while open standards and interoperability make it possible for a seamless collaboration across multiple systems.
“Our goal is to help companies and institutions gain technological sovereignty and break away from proprietary, closed platforms,” explains Sascha Zimmer, Field CTO of Adfinis Germany. “With Element Enterprise by Adfinis, we offer a secure, flexible communications solution that integrates seamlessly into existing open source environments.”
Flexible, scalable and cost-effective
The SaaS solution is provided via WX-One – a cloud platform developed entirely in Germany. It offers companies and authorities a data protection-compliant alternative to US providers in market leader positions. Customers benefit from a highly available, scalable and maintenance-free environment without having to allocate their own resources for operations and maintenance.
Adfinis provides the solution already starting with one user for € 4.40 per user per month. There is a dedicated environment that is tailored to specific requirements for organizations with more than 100 users. Further, individual adaptations are possible for integrating the platform into existing processes optimally.
Sustainable demand for a secure communication
The The Future of Secure Communicationsstudy commissioned by Element, conducted by Forrester Consulting, shows the growing demand for digitally sovereign communication. According to the study, 78% of IT decision-makers expect a secure end-to-end encryption that many market-leading platforms do not offer.
Dr Patrick Alberts, Managing Director of Element, adds: “So far, it has been primarily large institutions such as the German Armed Forces, state administrations and police authorities that have benefited from our technology. Thanks to the partnership with Adfinis, Element is now also available as a SaaS solution for a wider group of users in Germany.”
