To protect intellectual property and trade secrets while ensuring compliance, today’s leading organizations are becoming increasingly privacy-conscious. To this end, many companies are moving away from cloud-based SaaS messaging services like Slack and Microsoft Teams to private cloud alternatives like Mattermost. That way, they’re able to maintain complete control over all of their messaging data—instead of letting vendors store that important information on their own servers.

Workstream collaboration is a new way of working that today’s leading organizations are increasingly adopting to get more done more effectively in less time. More specifically, we define workstream collaboration as follows: Workstream collaboration brings messaging, notifications, files, bots, tools and people together to create a private, persistent and searchable digital workspace that teams can use to do their work in a transparent, effective and efficient manner.

Mattermost 5.2 has new features designed to improve team productivity.

The adoption of ChatOps — i.e. connecting an organization’s software delivery cycle and day to day operations to chat channels — has grown over the past few years. Facilitating cross-team communication and collaboration, Slack has become the most popular tool for implementing ChatOps-driven work practices.

Three years after launching, there are over 1,000 open source projects on GitHub that integrate with Mattermost. Our contributors have also added hundreds of amazing features to Mattermost. We’re reflecting on how we got here—and what we’re doing next to build an even stronger community for our contributors.
