Softros Systems announced an all-inclusive instant messaging software intended for local and wide area networks. Softros LAN Messenger allows for fast, reliable, and what is most important, easy communications within corporate or home network environments. The application resembles somewhat popular Internet messaging solutions except for it does not require a dedicated server to run and it is not overloaded with junk-features. Softros LAN Messenger offers plain text communications and file transfers both in direct messaging and broadcast modes. Messages are stored for further reference along with time stamps for easier recognition. Softros LAN Messenger makes it possible to organize and maintain instant messaging environment in any TCP\IP network without having to go through complicated installation procedure or training a dedicated tech person.

This LAN chat software is intended for a broad range of LAN users that require reliable instant communication with people located in the same building or on the other side of the globe. Though initially targeted towards small to large corporate environments, the application has found many adepts among home networks users. Ease of installation and use makes it possible to deploy the application without administrator's assistance. The support of limited Windows user accounts also constitutes to this fact. Another very convenient feature is the capability to configure application once and transfer settings to any number of machines. Besides offering clear intuitive user interface, Softros LAN Messenger has various built-in notification sounds, documents interchange system and messages encryption.

"As we have studied the existing corporate instant messaging solutions available on the market, we have found none of them particularly fit business communications model," - said Sergei Rozhkov, the CEO of Softros Systems. "There are bulky client-server solutions overloaded with smileys, skins and other junk-features; there are ill-thought software packages that require administering and dedicated hardware - but, there is no easy to install and use solution for everyday business communications. That is exactly the point where Softros LAN Messenger comes very handy!"
