Own your tools. Own your data.

Move your team off rented Slack onto a private tool on infrastructure you own. Same workflow. Flat fee. We run it, you run nothing.

Your messages, files, and AI prompts never leave your boundary.

Own it once. The bill stops climbing.

Rented Slack charges per seat, and the price rises every year. Owned, it’s one flat fee that barely moves as you grow.

Own it: your data, your infrastructure, yours to keep.

We’ll only use it to send your breakdown and follow up. Privacy.

Moving is safe. Here’s how.

01

We stand it up.

Your private instance: Zulip for messaging, Jitsi for calls, all on infrastructure you own.

02

We bring your history.

Channels, messages, files: imported and searchable from day one.

03

It runs alongside Slack.

No big-bang switch. Both run at once until your team is ready.

04

You cut over when ready.

From there we run it: updates, backups, on-call. You run nothing.

  • Your old Slack stays a read-only archive. Nothing is lost.
