Efficient communication is one of the key components of the overall
success of any company, be it a small family shop or a humongous
multinational with thousands of employees. Proper communication models
save time and resources, and make for faster business cycles, thus
improving the performance indices of your enterprise and, therefore,
increasing the revenue. Businesses of various scales often overlook
specialized corporate LAN communication suites and opt for the widely
available instant messaging software, such as MSN, ICQ, AOL and Yahoo
IM's. Although it may be the most apparent approach to building a
large-scale corporate communication system, it contains quite a lot of
flaws and potential dangers that are not to be underestimated. First
and foremost, Internet IM's are exposed to virus and hacker attacks
that jeopardize the security of the internal company data sent and
received through these messengers. Another negative aspect of regular
public IM software is that these applications use servers to exchange
messages between users, therefore your employees depend on their
stability and may not be able to use the services when one or all
servers are down due to technical issues, which is unacceptable for
business applications. Other inconveniences of using standard IM
software may include, but are not limited to, the necessity to open
additional corporate firewall ports (which may affect the security of
the corporate network), the absence of data encryption, unavailability
of adequate technical support, the presence of ad banners and spam
messages accompanying almost all free IM applications. Finally, the
temptation to chat with people outside the corporate network is
something that many employees cannot resist.

software that would meet you corporate requirements, we recommend
