Why Digital Interoperability Matters."},"content":{"rendered":"\t\t
In today’s digital world, security and federated collaboration of communication applications is crucial, especially for association organizations with a large number of members, for example the German Red Cross (DRK), Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) or fire and police organizations.<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
Secure digital communication in such complex organizations is important both to protect confidential information and to maintain the trust of members, partners and external parties in the organization. This is especially true at a time when digital communications are becoming increasingly important and cyber-attacks are on the rise. A permanent security strategy that is regularly reviewed and adapted is therefore essential. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t In a future where communication between fire departments, police, DRK and THW is fully interoperable, these organizations can coordinate their work even better. Thanks to the use of modern and reliable messenger services such as stashcat, communication can take place in real time and it is possible to react even faster and more efficiently in crisis situations.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Many of these aid organizations have decided to use the messenger service stashcat as a digital communication solution. This solution is one of the most up-to-date and secure in the field of digital communication and allows to act more effectively and to forward the right information to the right people.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Communication between the different hierarchical levels of an organization presents an additional challenge. This became particularly evident in crisis situations such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, flooding in the Ahr Valley, or national and international rescue and recovery operations. In such times, it is of vital importance to be able to act quickly and effectively and to communicate the right information to the right people. A reliable, robust and modern digital communications solution is essential for this.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> To be able to communicate effectively and securely, it is no longer enough to rely solely on traditional communication channels. For example, communication via radio channels and control centers can be supplemented by a messenger with visual information such as images or video recordings. When a messenger is interoperable, it means it is compatible with other messaging services. This, again, enables connectivity between different platforms and makes it easier for units and organizations to work together during an emergency situation. This is because they don’t necessarily have to use the same platform, but they can still communicate with each other and stay connected.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> The topic of federated communication has currently gained in importance, which is why the demand for interoperable messengers from authorities and organizations has increased massively in recent years. It is particularly important to find solutions that are both secure and effective, while still ensuring easy communication.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> stashcat is a federated business messenger app that enables privacy-compliant, secure and modern digital communication between all stakeholders inside and outside such organizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t One of the most important upcoming features of stashcat will be integration of the Matrix protocol standard. It enables networking not only with stashcat servers, but also with all other Matrix-based messenger services.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> The federated structure ensures that different organizations can communicate both internally and with each other. This greatly facilitates communication and cooperation among organizations in an emergency or crisis situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tReliable, robust and modern <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Often, private messenger services are resorted to in such situations, but they carry a high risk of data misuse, hacker attacks and rights violations. A lack of compatibility between messenger services also makes a continuously moderated flow of information difficult. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tInteroperable Messengers:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
