Rocket.Chat 8.7 brings XMPP interoperability for coalition operations

Coalition operations depend on XMPP. NATO's Federated Mission Networking (FMN) builds on it, it is a standing requirement in coalition RFPs, and it has carried mission communications for more than 20 years. With release 8.7, Rocket.Chat federates with XMPP, so organisations can coordinate with every partner on the mission network from a single sovereign platform. This release is the first step in a larger build: native XMPP federation, engineered into the platform rather than bolted on.

Data sovereignty: residency is the starting point, not the destination

‍ Most organizations asking about data sovereignty are actually asking about data residency. Where are the servers? Is there a data center in Germany, France, or the Netherlands? The vendor says yes. The procurement box gets ticked. The conversation moves on. This is understandable. Geography is concrete and auditable. And residency does matter. What it does not do is answer every question sovereignty requires. That gap is where the real sovereignty conversation begins.

Sovereign communications platform: how to choose one

‍ A sovereign communications platform gives your organisation control over where its communications data lives, who can access it, and how it is protected. Getting that right matters more than it appears. Sovereignty in communications comes down to one thing: being in charge of your own data. Organisations manage that control in different ways.
