What are the benefits of bridging?

Matrix bridging services create safe gateways through the walled gardens of traditional collaboration and messaging apps.

Interoperable

Bring your people together, whatever app they use, with interoperable collaboration.

Universal

Connect with your external ecosystem; as easy as email, but end-to-end encrypted.

Integrate

Plug frontline workers, and their data, straight into the rest of the organisation's workflow.

Secure

Use Topsecret for mission-critical operations, bridged to a generic enterprise-wide system.

Backup

Have a fully synced enterprise-wide backup to cover unplanned outages, or a network failure.

Shadow IT

Address shadow IT concerns driven by the use of consumer-grade messaging apps.

A new era of interoperability for real time communication.

Bridging helps break silos through interoperability. It's exactly what the EU Digital Markets Act and the US ACCESS Act are pushing for to protect against people and organisations being locked into a particular vendor or service.

Bridging gives a native look and feel.

Deployment varies slightly per bridge, but they all deliver a native look and feel for both sides.

Minimal IT admin support is required from external parties.

Bridging is charged according to the number of remote monthly active users (RMAU) sending messages from the ‘other’ side of the bridge into the Topsecret/Matrix environment.
