Most of us are familiar with consumer versions of Instant Messaging (IM). One research firm estimates the percentage of UK employees using IM at work to be over 85 percent.* The benefits of IM are clear: it's quick, doesn't tie up external telephone lines, and let's you do multi-user conferencing and collaboration in real time.

Disadvantages of free IM are also clear: unsecured, it can provide even easier access than email for worms, viruses, and malicious hackers. Consumer IM offers zero accountability for personal "use", abuse, or mysterious and indefinable losses in productivity.

The simplicity and relative ease of expanding an IM chat network makes it a big plus to personal socialising, but a minus to the productivity interests of business.
IMJack lets you control exactly who you add to the company IM network and who you don't. The on-site IMJack hardware installation and training is quick and uncomplicated. Then it's simply a matter of adding off-site users via secure software downloads and following the intuitive access control prompts.
IMJack also offers full messaging and voice recording, activated at your discretion. Use it to remain legally compliant, to monitor your employees, or to simply provide yourself with more information about your company's communication patterns.
Another productivity-enhancing advantage over consumer versions, IMJack lets your users send each other files and documents of almost any size-and at lightning fast speeds. Users can also access each other's shared files without disturbing anyone on the network.
It's secure: peer-to-peer, PC-to-PC means no prying eyes or unauthorised copying while files are in transit. No time drags as documents filter their way through firewalls or over public ISP and email servers.
Time and cost savings are immediate. No disk-burning, flash drives, courier fees, or costly delays while waiting for delivery. IMJack turbo-charges real-time communication and project collaboration.
Knowing who's available and that a message you send will be attended to the minute the recipient returns to the network makes this IMJack feature invaluable. IMJack eliminates "telephone tennis," "blind calls," or trying to decide how urgent to mark an urgent email to provoke a response.
At your discretion, you can personalise your presence message to let your colleagues know more about where you are or when they should expect you back. If no one needs to know, you can still show "away" or "unavailable."
T-mail pop-up notification and reminders let your people know immediately who has a question or request and exactly what it is. Response may not be guaranteed, but it gets very close.
