Take complete control over company data. Workadi Server is the best solution for organizations that require or prefer self-hosted instant messaging.
Workadi Server is a complete software-based solution for company instant messaging
, and makes a great alternative to Skype for Business, alternative to Microsoft Teams, and alternative to Openfire deployments. Install it on company-controlled hardware to take complete control over your company's instant messaging environment. Your users will connect directly to a Workadi Server deployed behind your firewall instead of the public Workadi cloud.
Users and Groups
Import users and groups automatically from Active Directory. Users will sign into Workadi with familiar credentials.
Group Chats
Group chats can be user-initiated or fully company-controlled, and include the ability to automatically populate group chats based on OUs in Active Directory.
Retention Periods
Strictly control how long Workadi Server holds on to chat history and user-shared media, ensuring compliance with company policies.
Federation
Self-hosting doesn't mean you need to be lonely. Workadi's decentralized architecture means you can opt to federate with other businesses or the public Workadi cloud to keep your company connected while maintaining control over your data.
Competing priorities for resources meant that it was going to be difficult to justify the high costs associated with traditional messaging platforms like Skype. Open source alternatives tended to sacrifice security features, leaving them minimally useful in a regulated environment like ours.
