01 · About

A trusted advisor to government in Asia-Pacific.

Master Concept is a technology advisor and managed service provider headquartered in Hong Kong and Singapore, trusted by government agencies and enterprises for secure, scalable digital transformation, including secure communication and collaboration.

02 · The challenge

Email, consumer apps and data crossing borders.

Agencies relied on email, which was too slow for real-time coordination. To move faster, staff turned to consumer apps with no audit trail and no control over where data lived. Some departments adopted cloud tools that routed sensitive data through external servers, often across borders.

“Too many agencies were forced to use consumer apps or cloud services that simply don’t meet stringent security needs. Sensitive data could be exposed, and that’s a risk no government agency can afford.”
Dennis WongDirector and Co-Founder, Master Concept
03 · The solution

Self-hosted, customized, and connected.

Agencies deployed Rocket.Chat on their own infrastructure. They decide where data lives, who can access it and how long it is kept, so classified discussions stay within government walls.

How agencies use it
  • Internal systems integrated into one operational hub, such as weather alerts delivered straight to the right teams
  • Working alongside MS Teams, so departments communicate across platforms without extra apps
  • Governed AI to summarize conversations, translate summaries into local languages and pull insights from long threads
  • Federation between separate Rocket.Chat deployments, each department keeping its own data
  • Automated provisioning that places people in the right spaces from day one
“Government agencies needed to bring communications back within their perimeter. Rocket.Chat’s self-hosted deployment option puts full data control back in the hands of agencies.”
Dennis WongDirector and Co-Founder, Master Concept
