Case Study: Audi Business Innovation achieves faster, more secure collaboration with Rocket.Chat

Audi Business Innovation saves 1/3 on cloud costs with Rocket.Chat

Audi Business Innovation GmbH, a subsidiary of AUDI AG focused on digital product development, needed to replace its discontinued communications platform with a secure, self-hosted solution to facilitate collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. For data privacy reasons, a SaaS product like Slack was not an option, so they sought a mature, open-source platform that could be hosted on their own infrastructure, leading them to evaluate Rocket.Chat.

Rocket.Chat provided a self-hosted, open-source communications platform that met their security requirements. The solution enabled faster onboarding of external partners, reducing setup time from weeks to just 30 minutes. By implementing Rocket.Chat in a scalable cluster mode, Audi Business Innovation saved one-third on cloud costs and saw the number of users across the Volkswagen Group double in a short time.
