This may be a difficult one to answer. I am looking for an instant messaging application (to host ourselves) which will have these features :<br />
<br />
- Ability to IM each other (obviously)<br />
- Have a status against each user (i.e. free/busy/away)<br />
- Suitable for 10-15 users.<br />
- Have a short status (which can be entered free text by the user).<br />
- Ability to transfer files<br />
- Video Conferencing<br />
- Centralised administration and basic usage reporting<br />
- Ability to invite third parties to online presentations\screen sharing sessions (like WebEx).<br />
<br />
<br />
Optional (nice to have)<br />
- VOIP capability<br />
- Open Source Software<br />

IM for Small Business

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).

Chat / IM

Productivity software is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video. Most common programs and suites such as Microsoft Office and LibreOffice have their own topics. Office suites, which brought word processing, spreadsheet, and relational database programs to the desktop in the 1980s, are the core example of productivity software, but they can include communications software, personal information managers, groupware and log analysis software.
