With the pace of business today it is essential to be able to respond quickly to changing events. Whether it’s a colleague with an urgent question or a document you need to check before it’s sent, instant communication is critical.

From its roots in social networking, instant messaging is now the business tool for real–time communication. It enables you and your people to stay in touch, send and receive messages, make phone calls, share files and even have video conversations

Instant messaging is now so integrated into the business landscape that it is available directly from the desktop. As well as standalone chat clients, like Lotus Sametime, our development team can embed instant messaging into your existing enterprise applications. These can be run through Domino or Exchange as you prefer.

By enabling instant messaging your users can:

• Stay in control – deciding what information to share – and with whom
• Use Presence to know who’s online right now – so they can get questions answered immediately
• Share applications – and work on a document with colleagues directly over the Internet, no matter where they are located
• Have a live meeting – with a built–in Whiteboard where they can draw, demonstrate procedures and more
• Transfer files easily – without ever leaving your instant messenger
