Central Management and Control
Unlike Peer-to-Peer (P2P) chat software, JBuddy Message Server offers central administration of all users, offering the organization the ultimate in messaging flexibility yet with fine-grained control. Control which users can use which screen names on which public IM networks. With messaging archiving enabled, users are less likely to abuse their IM access privileges and company auditors can keep track of what was said, when it was said, and to whom it was said, providing a clear history for any conversation. With the web-based administrative interface, managing and administrating your JBuddy Message Server is easy - from anywhere!
