November 26, 2001
Jabber, Inc., a leading developer of software for extensible instant messaging (IM), today announced the Jabber WebClient, a new instant messaging client designed to extend IM capabilities to standard web browsers. Enterprises and internet portals desiring to bring text chat and conferencing features to their audience without requiring them to install client side software are adopting the WebClient.
Instant messaging, widely popular among the consumer audience, is being increasingly embraced by businesses as a necessary component of their communications infrastructure, supporting both internal and external connections and collaboration. Jabber WebClient serves both markets: enterprises needing a firewall-friendly connection with no installed client, and internet portal sites that wish to attract site visitors with chat and conference features.
“The Jabber WebClient can be fully branded with company logos and identities, allowing service providers to integrate it into existing web portals and provide value-added services to their customers. The WebClient supports a broad range of IM features which are easily delivered through the web,” says Paul Hemming, Product Manager of Jabber, Inc. “For example, this product appeals to financial services and consumer products companies who are actively looking to embed the client into custom applications they are developing to support their customers.”
WebClient V1.0 software is installed alongside the Jabber Communications Platform server, extending the reach of the Jabber server to HTTP web browsers. It complements the installed client software products already available from Jabber, Inc. and contributors to the Jabber Open Source Project.
Jabber WebClient V1.0 will be available for customer installations in December. It is currently available for demonstration at http://www.jabber.com.
