Intra office chat

Intra office chat

Didn't find your answer?

We are thinking about having an intra office chat program rather than sending emails/calling for a quick message/note.

Can anyone recommend any programs? We would really want it to be purely internal, and not link to external chat programs, and also it would be useful if it kept a log of all chats. There would be about 15 users.

Thanks

LAN Messenger

I think Lan Messenger is probably what you are looking for.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lanmsngr/

This project seems to have been forked, there is a Lan messenger 3 but I have never used that version.

I've heard Chatter and Yammer are both good. 

Basic Gmail instant message is fine too!

Hipchat is great from wherever you are, either in the office or remote.

I use it maybe 3-4 days a week and when I'm not logged in I get an email if anyone has sent me or an @all message.

In my last emploment we used Amteus. I've no idea what it costs.

It was rarely used for work - most employees just used it to [***] about with their workmates or [***] about other employees (although this can and was done via other methods too).
