MSN, ICQ, AOL, Yahoo, Skype, the list goes on and on! Instant messaging (IM) has become one of the most popular online services over the last 5 years. From the early days of plain text chat rooms and IRC people have been using the internet to communicate in real time rather than via email. Recently there has been a massive rise in online social networking and more people now use some for of instant messaging service than ever before, some research showed that 82 million people used instant messaging in Europe alone. With IM being so popular surely there must be a use for it within any enterprise.

one of the biggest obstacles to any enterprise was the security concern in using instant messaging, as the communication traffic was routed via the world wide web and there was no control over it.

Openfire allows enterprises to create their own private, secure and controlled Instant Messaging (IM) platform that provides users with all the functionalities needed. Openfire provides auditable logs and controll over the user's.

The XMPP protocol is supported and continually enhanced by the active XMPP Software Foundation community.
