Akeni Enterprise Instant Messaging IM is an enterprise messaging system that offers strong encryption, along with Active Directory / LDAP integration. It also provides corporate im messaging policy management through the use of shared public groups and role based user access rights. All messages can be logged into flat files and databases to allow for searching and auditing. You can also add the Akeni Social Networking Software to the Enterprise Instant Messaging product so that your users can access the system using a web browser.

Features includes IM chat, conference, file transfer, notification, alerts, online status, and optional web client module.

Shared public folders allows the administrator to easily manage user accounts from one central location. By adding/removing users from the shared public folder the administrator can change everyone's contact list in one single operation.

The role based access right system allows the administrator to control whether users are allowed to send files, initiate chats and conferences, and to "lock down" users' contact lists.
