Session
Enhancing open standards and data ownership within its ecosystem, the European Commission is walking the (sovereign) talk by introducing a new Digital Workplace service powered by Matrix / Element. This talk walks you through the EC's journey from early architecture decisions to deploying a production ready communication service. We will share the practical reality of integrating Matrix into a large-scale institutional ecosystem - balancing strict security and compliance requirements with user experience and the key lessons learned along the way.
