well we are currently testing our new in house IM service. All is well as this is costing us nothing besides my time to setup server and clients.
Service for IM we are using is Jabber...Wildfire to be exact. Installs on Linux or Windows and just runs. All clients connect to it within our LAN so there isn't any extra bandwidth going through the internet.
I just installed the rpm on our squid server and started wildfire. Use the web to configure the jabber protocal and GAIM for clients to connect. Pretty sweet actually...offline messaging, file transfers, profiles, and I can do a broadcast IM to everyone.
Only downside is that it doesnt connect to outlook to view real time calendars...but it's not worth $4000 to have that ability. |
