Goodbye Skype, Hello Jitsi

In this blog article, we will show you the concrete benefits of switching to Jitsi for your company and how you can use this opportunity to use artificial intelligence sensibly and safely.

Why switching from Skype to Jitsi makes you more secure

Since yesterday it is official that Skype will be discontinued in May 2025 - a turning point for all companies that have relied on free worldwide video chats independent of Microsoft. A switch to a free Teams version is offered, but this is functionally limited and must now be licensed separately from the Office package for better use in the Microsoft universe.

use of artificial intelligence

The shutdown of Skype is more than just a forced change of communication platform . Companies now have the opportunity to fundamentally rethink their communication processes and focus on efficiency, security and data protection. In particular, the use of AI for transcription, translation and processing of conversation results should not be handed over to an opaque cloud without thinking.

security challenge

The use of software for global communication requires not only AI support but also secure and data protection-compliant processing of sensitive information such as strategic, confidential or personal data .

As the use of video telephony and online conferences continues to grow, the personal content and confidential topics in conversations are also increasing. Carelessly activating transcriptions or switching on AI assistants can have far-reaching consequences. Intransparent processing on systems outside the EU or unknown cloud processing is always a security risk .

What Jitsi brings to local hosting

As an open source application, Jitsi is the ideal basis for companies, law firms and practices that value security and data protection . Jitsi not only replaces the Skype communications service, but also creates a secure ecosystem : Supported by the use of local artificial intelligence, conversation data is processed securely and in compliance with data protection regulations. This means that sensitive information stays within the company and meets the highest security standards .

Reasons for a change

Companies today are facing increasingly complex challenges in the areas of data protection, digitalization and process optimization. A secure local Jitsi installation supports your company with:

• Data protection: With the increasing number of cyber attacks and strict legal requirements (e.g. GDPR), the protection of sensitive conversation data is becoming increasingly important.
• Independence: Sustainable companies want to become more independent from global cloud providers and instead rely on local, trustworthy IT infrastructures.
• Future-proof digitalization: A video conferencing system that creates the basis for automation and secure AI support makes communication within the company sustainably competitive and creates freedom.

The switch from Skype to Jitsi is aimed at companies that want to actively address these challenges by relying on a data protection-compliant, locally hosted communications solution that simultaneously paves the way for intelligent conversation support.
