The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
Broadridge Financial uses Mattermost for secure enterprise-grade DevOps collaboration
After moving to Mattermost, a major financial services firm was able to increase developer productivity and organizational alignment without compromising on security. For years, the firm had been relying on a well-known instant messaging application for enterprise communication. Not only was the platform nearing its end-of-life, it fell short elsewhere for several reasons: conversations were slow, chat histories weren’t always persistent and compliance was difficult to achieve.

Introducing Zia, the conversational virtual support agent for ServiceDesk Plus
Have you ever felt that having an extra set of hands in your service desk could relieve you of those trivial tickets?

Using premortems to calm your nerves and nail that big project
Can you ever say with certainty that your project will be a success? Nope. You can’t. But running a premortem – a thought exercise in which you imagine what could go wrong and decide how to prevent it – in the early or middle stages of your project goes a long way.
Is Parkinson's Law threatening your team's projects?
Think about the last time you worked on a large group project. Go ahead — let out that inevitable groan. Now, think about the last time you worked on a group project that was completed ahead of schedule. Yep, we hear those crickets too. Team projects are notorious for taking far more time than expected, which means you don’t have to go far to find some famous examples.
Developer's Alternative to Slack
Mattermost and Slack are tools that increase team productivity through workplace messaging.

For many privacy-conscious organizations that have global teams, strict security requirements, or a team of developers that is continuously looking for ways to accelerate workflows, Slack falls flat.
