mesibo simplifies things by providing a robust, scalable platform covering messaging, calling, conferencing, etc. So you can stay focused on your core app, while mesibo handles the complex real-time communication for you.

mesibo supports almost all popular platforms and languages. Whether you are developing mobile apps (Android, iOS, Flutter, Java, Objective-C, C++), web apps (Javascript), integrating with backend (Linux, macOS, Windows, Python, C++), or creating cool devices using Raspberry PI, mesibo has chat APIs for you.

When mesibo is self-hosted, mesibo does not access, store, or process your data. Organizations therefore retain full control over their security, data handling, and compliance processes, which allows them to build HIPAA-compliant healthcare and telemedicine applications.

Because the platform runs entirely within your infrastructure in a self-hosted deployment, organizations do not need to enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with mesibo.

It’s a fair question. And this is another reason you should use mesibo. We are making mesibo an open-source and largest communication platform in the world. Most of the mesibo source code is available on GitHub repositories. Also, the mesibo on-premise solution lets you run the entire mesibo platform from your own premise and keep your data secure with you. So, if due to some unforeseen circumstances or unnatural forces of nature, mesibo goes out of business, you can continue to use mesibo on-premise and also the source code. If you are using our cloud solution, you can download the data and move to on-premise.

So, in either case, you are safe with mesibo and have nothing to worry about.

We are happy to discuss your requirements and determine how mesibo can best meet your needs. However, we do not sign NDAs due to having a large global customer base across many industries with potentially similar requirements. We may have already received similar requirements from other customers and hence signing an NDA restrains us from supporting our customers and offering our services effectively.

Having said that, your requirements are secure with us. We never discuss the requirements of one customer with another, and for the same reason, we often decline requests for references.

If an NDA is strictly mandatory for your organization, we request you only share publicly what you can or provide generalized requirements without revealing sensitive strategic purposes. Our core offering focuses on the mesibo platform and APIs to enable full customization for your specific use case and objectives.
