Communication via the Internet has now become essential for most businesses. It is faster, reliable, and less expensive as compared to traditional media such as the telephone. And while e-mail is confidently heading towards its 40th anniversary, instant messengers are a relatively new development that allows businesses to easily keep in touch with all their staff and contacts – a necessary business tool in today’s dynamic corporate environment.

While many companies use free public instant messengers, there are many risks related to that. Security is not guaranteed, there is a threat of viruses, and technical support is practically nonexistent. That is why many businesses are beginning to realize the need of investing in a enterprise instant messenger in order to ensure business security and performance.

Brosix Enterprise Instant Messenger is one of the leading products that have been developed in this area. By registering for Brosix, businesses create their own private network, which is hosted on Brosix’s own servers. This network can be easily managed via a web-based Administration console, thus allowing clients to have full control, manage contact lists, block users, etc. As the network is private, there is an automatic guarantee that all messages, files, and video or voice requests come from authorized users, thus keeping the risk of viruses and spyware down to a minimum.

The Brosix business instant messenger solution provides powerful collaboration tools to help organizations better manage business, client support, and office interaction. Besides text messages, the messenger also contains various other options such as Whiteboard, Co-Browse, Voice/Video chat, etc.

As the corporate instant messenger is hosted on Brosix servers, configuration and maintenance are virtually zero. Brosix operates a global servers infrastructure, and users get connected to the closest server.

Of course, one of the main advantages of this business instant messenger is security. Brosix encrypts all the traffic with 256 bit keys, and only recipients can decrypt them.

The solution has great inexpensive flat-fee pricing. The subscription fee for your network depends on the number of users registered to it. Network capacity is increased in blocks of 10, and additional subscriptions can be added at any time.
