Nowadays, it seems like everybody is talking about hybrid work. Companies are redesigning their work policies and contemplating the best ways to combine advantages of coming to the office and working from home. Ever since the pandemic abruptly entered our work lives, organizations realized that it’s possible to have employees working remotely. The hype around hybrid working models is real. However, not everybody is convinced that it is a good way forward.

Digital workplaces are no longer a thing of the future. Although many companies were already on the track to go digital, pandemic has accelerated this process. In 2020, Gartner’s research revealed that 82% of company leaders planned to incorporate remote work into their policies well after the pandemic. However, switching to completely remote or hybrid workplaces has a prerequisite: building and maintaining strong digital workplaces.

Effective team collaboration. Seems simple enough, right? You just need a group of people that get together, divide tasks among themselves, and – voila! Or is it just a bit more complicated than that.. 🤔 The reality is that teams consist of different people with different characters, experiences, and knowledge. Effective team collaboration was never easy to achieve – and this mission has grown even harder since remote work abruptly became a reality for many.

In today’s fast-paced world, companies must be able to provide support where their customers are. With over 187 million daily active users, Twitter is undoubtedly one of the social media channels where companies must be present and available. To help businesses offer a direct communication line with Twitter users, we’re glad to introduce Rocket.Chat’s new Twitter integration.

We’re over the moon! Rocket.Chat was selected as the winner of the Team Messaging Solution of the Year by RemoteTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technology, and products in the global remote work technology market.

We are proud to announce that Rocket.Chat has been named a Category Leader for Instant Messaging and Chat Software by GetApp, a Gartner company, the second consecutive year it has received this recognition. Rocket.Chat placed No. 10 in the category, out of hundreds of products reviewed.

We think docker and container technologies are great and are here to stay. However, there are concerns about Docker Hub (hub.docker.com) and we want to make sure that if anything happens we can continue to provide docker images seamlessly. Additionally Docker Hub provides us with very limited information on pulls and we would like to understand more about how images are consumed so we can provide a better service.

Technology plays a crucial role in transforming public safety, bringing significant changes to our lives. When combined with the right tools, technology can even save them. That’s the story behind Bridge 4 Public Safety, the app launched with funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and built within Rocket.Chat.

To make the Rocket.Chat experience even more pleasant and smooth for our users, the development efforts of version 3.14.0 were focused on design tweaks and bug fixes. The sizes of the graphic elements present in the last releases have been improved, alongside some new security fixes and improvements in the usability of our new Teams feature. We believe that this will allow a wider and more correct use of Rocket.Chat.
