Operate infrastructure flexibly instead of maintaining multiple platforms

Companies face the challenge of meeting different IT strategies, compliance requirements, and cloud policies at the same time. While some applications continue to run on-premises, new solutions need to be deployed flexibly in enterprise clouds or sovereign cloud environments. Different deployments increase operational effort and make updates and the introduction of new platform capabilities more difficult. CONTACT Elements provides a unified foundation for modern operating models.

Benefits

  • Choose your operating model flexibly
  • Standardize deployments
  • Deploy updates efficiently
  • Operate the platform at scale
  • Meet cloud and compliance requirements

Choose the operating model that fits your needs

CONTACT Elements is available in several operating models: installed in your own data center, as a cloud service operated by CONTACT, or deployed in a (sovereign) cloud environment. The models differ in who is responsible for the infrastructure, platform operations, and updates – while the functionality remains the same. If your requirements change, you can switch operating models without changing the platform

Deploy the platform using containers

CONTACT Elements is deployed using containers. This allows the platform to run according to the same model everywhere – in your own data center, in the cloud, or in a sovereign cloud. New environments can be created reproducibly instead of as one-off implementations, test and production are set up identically, and individual services can be scaled where workloads increase.

Continuously update the platform

New capabilities should be available quickly without turning every update into a project. CONTACT develops Elements in automated release cycles: changes are continuously built, tested, and provided as versioned container images. In cloud operations, CONTACT deploys the updates; in your own data center, you roll out the same release version according to your schedule. Regardless of the operating model, you work on a platform that is continuously evolving.

Reliably meet compliance and cloud requirements

For companies with stringent requirements for data protection, compliance, and digital sovereignty, CONTACT Elements can be operated in sovereign cloud environments – for example, on STACKIT, the cloud platform of the Schwarz Group. Your data is then hosted in European data centers operated by a European provider. You retain control over where your data is stored and who can access it – without giving up modern cloud technologies.

Platform quality reviewed by AWS

CONTACT Elements Cloud on AWS has successfully completed the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR). The FTR uses selected best practices from the AWS Well-Architected Framework to assess whether a solution meets fundamental requirements for security, reliability, and operations. For you, this means the cloud architecture has been evaluated against an established industry standard – rather than being defined solely by internal criteria.
