Self-hosted team messaging — a Slack alternative with your data in Canada.
Slack and Teams are convenient — but sensitive conversations, file attachments, and integration data often live on US infrastructure. Mattermost gives your team channels, DMs, threads, and integrations with full control over where data is stored.
Swift Host provides managed Mattermost hosting with PostgreSQL, file storage, LDAP/SAML SSO, and plugin management. We handle upgrades, backups, and SSL so your team gets a reliable chat platform without SaaS per-seat costs at scale.
Canadian organizations — especially in legal, healthcare, government, and finance — choose Mattermost when team communication must stay on Canadian soil with audit-friendly retention policies.
Team chat is where decisions happen, files get shared, and integrations push sensitive notifications. When that platform runs on US SaaS infrastructure, your internal communications are subject to foreign terms of service and access laws. Mattermost on Swift Host keeps team chat Canadian.

Internal chat contains strategic discussions, client information, HR conversations, and files that never should have left your organization. Slack and Teams store this on US infrastructure by default — a concern for legal firms, government agencies, healthcare organizations, and any business with strict data governance.
