Threema Work is a privacy-compliant messaging app our employees can use without having to worry.

The wide range of features and the unparalleled cost effectiveness won us over.

Thanks to the comprehensible documentation, integration into one’s own directory service is a breeze.

The independent infrastructure and the fact that the apps are open source are also major advantages.
