Instant Messaging
As any teenager can attest, email is not the only way to communicate using a computer. The latest version of FirstClass includes vastly improved Instant Messaging. All your users can quickly locate who's online and send short messages. If need be, transcripts can be saved. For simple communications, nothings beats IM. And the kids love it!
Concerned about Security? So is FirstClass.
For over a decade the designers of FirstClass have emphasized security as the most important aspect of a messaging system, avoiding the security problems found in systems that emphasize features over security.
FirstClass is highly resistant to attack for two reasons. First, on the server, all data (including files, messages and attachments) is encapsulated, which ensures that any viruses will pass harmlessly through the server. Second, since the FirstClass client has no user data stored locally, any virus that does run on a client machine will have no ability to access client data (such as messages and Address Book entries), and thus will be unable to reproduce itself.
In addition to the encryption of content traveling between the client and server, FirstClass provides 5 layers of security, including priviledges and permissions set by UserID.
FirstClass allows you to communicate easily and safely.
