Be your own platform
Your messaging and social media are managed by big platforms. There are alternatives that give you more control.
Email the way you want it
A lot of businesses run on email. A Gmail or Hotmail address is free and easy to use. As your business grows you might think about getting a domain and an email, and as your staff grows you add more addresses, and you end up with a Google Workspace or Outlook 365. However, as always, there are alternatives.
Moortech offers a private mail service powered by Mailcow with full management at a competitive price, and access to human support. We maintain the system and monitor and manage deliverability so that your mail gets where it needs to go at all times. Combine this with private cloud services for file synchronisation, document support and private chat.
Private, distributed communications
If your business is remote you may communicate using a platform such as Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, maybe even Slack. XMPP is a well established and distributed messaging system that will run on a server that you control but allow communication with other servers across the Internet. Through Jitsi Meet you can even run your own video conferences.
Moortech has the expertise to host and manage your messaging services and make them as simple to use as big tech alternatives.
Be your own social media
You may have heard of Mastodon when it was covered by the popular media following Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter. Mastodon is part of the Fediverse, a distributed collection of services that are connected by the ActivityPub protocol. This means that updates posted to one service can be seen other services, which allows possibilities beyond simple social media posts. Your articles published on your WordPress blog can be seen by Mastodon users. Videos posted on Peertube can be seen on your WordPress blog. The Fediverse also has its own equivalents of Instagram and TikTok, all visible from one client.
Moreover, your platform, however small, can be seen by ActivityPub clients anywhere in the world. Over twelve million people use the platform daily and it can be an effective tool in your social media strategy.
If communicating by social media within your organisation makes more sense to you, your server can be private. Filters and controls mean that communication is entirely within your control.
Moortech can help you find a new way to connect with people by hosting and managing your services.
