IceWarp Introduces TeamChat, a Tool for Real-Time Messaging in Teams that Integrates with Email & Collaboration
Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 12, 2016 -- This May, IceWarp has globally released the newest version of its business mail and collaboration server that makes large strides in online collaboration as we know it. IceWarp TeamChat redefines how companies communicate and collaborate beyond email. Not only does it let users exchange ideas and share data online, but they can also directly engage in online meetings inside the application, schedule in-person meetings, share or edit many types of documents or involve external users in company conversations.
A growing number of businesses want to reduce their email traffic, establish a solid means of communication around a project, and connect a remote workforce into coherent teams. IceWarp TeamChat ticks all these boxes by letting users create private or public virtual chat rooms based on their workflows, invite others, and then have real-time conversations around a project, team or topic. This creates an endless searchable feed of messages, documents and meetings, similar to social networks. As an alternative to market leading solutions, IceWarp TeamChat can be installed on company's own premises, keeping companies in control of their messages and data. Smart integrations within the IceWarp platform, such as document storage and online editing, allow users to multitask with email, TeamChat, calendaring and Office documents.
Over the last 15 years, IceWarp’s mission has been to deliver a solution that simplifies the life of its customers. Nowadays, there are dozens of alternative products available on the market for email and simple chat. This made IceWarp realize the importance of embedding all the modern features that businesses demand – including Office online or real-time Chat for Teams – into a single product that saves customers money by dealing with a single provider, and at the same time makes employees more productive by not having to work with different inconsistent applications during the day. This vision has led IceWarp to create its newest version 11.4.1, which includes everything that customers have asked for in a single, intuitive interface.
As he recalls, the company’s CEO Mr. Adam Paclt has used many collaboration tools in the last two years that eventually led him to find a new direction for his company. Today, he is finally relieved to be able to get rid of all those products and use just one – IceWarp – for everything that was before possible only with many open windows and applications. IceWarp CTO Mr. Antonin Prukl admits that it was also a race against the clock for his development team to deliver this unique, highly integrated solution in a very short go-to market period. “I am proud to present this first iteration to global customers, knowing that in just a few months, in the next version, we’ll be enabling some incredible integrations with enterprise software that nobody on the market is doing today,” said Mr. Paclt.
The messaging market is tending to move away from ubiquitous email in favor of real-time information exchange platforms. IceWarp follows these trends and combines them with traditional means of communication. “IceWarp was ready to extend its core functionality and move to the world of real-time communication, so TeamChat and Online Documents editing were just the next logical steps in our strategic plan,” stated Mr. Paclt.
The current market needs more than just messaging; it asks for effective information flow, real-time planning and communication, and unified customer experiences. This remains the main focus of IceWarp.
IceWarp Server 11.4.1 is available as a service or as software. It can be completely white labeled to match a company’s brand without any coding required, making it the first choice for service providers searching for a technologically advanced added value service. TeamChat comes enabled for all new and existing customers for free as part of regular version upgrades, and exciting new integrations are being added over time.
