Visit Softros LAN Messenger

Softros LAN Messenger is a serverless, peer-to-peer instant messaging tool designed for use within a company's own network (LAN, WAN, VPN, or VLAN). It provides individual and group conversations, broadcast messaging, offline messaging, file transfer (including broadcast file transfer), message history with search and print, remote desktop sharing based on Microsoft Remote Assistance, and multi-user video conferencing. It integrates with Active Directory and Entra ID for user identification, supports Group Policy deployment, and offers an SDK API toolkit (with C++, C#, and Delphi examples) for integrating messaging into on-premises CRM, billing, or invoicing systems. Administrators can restrict user access to features, and settings can be imported, exported, and pre-configured for distribution.
