Intranet multi client chatting

Abstract

The project "Intranet Multi Client Chatting" is designed using Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2005 as front end and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 as backend which works in .Net framework version 2.0. The coding language used is C# .Net.

Private network used within the company. An intranet serves the internal needs of the business entity. Intranet users are able to access the Internet, but firewalls keep outsiders from accessing confidential data. It makes use of the infrastructure and standards of the Internet and the Web. Intranets use low-cost Internet tools, are easy to install, and offer flexibility. The most popular intranet application is obviously inter-office chat. This capability allows the employees of a company to communicate with each other swiftly and easily. If the intranet has access to the Internet, chat can be accessed through the Internet connection. If the intranet is running without the Internet, special chat software packages can be bought and installed so that employees can take advantage of its many benefits. Every type of company has to deal with forms of some sort. This is another area where paperwork can become a problem for a business. Intranet servers can be equipped with programs that allow for forms to be filled out online. They could also be downloaded and printed out by the users themselves, which would cut down on the time it would take to distribute these forms manually. While somewhat complicated, intranets can be equipped with software to allow for live chat rooms or instant messages so that employees can communicate with each other online about work-related subjects. If a company is considering this form of communication, they should first form a policy about what can be discussed in an intranet chat. Chat room moderators and software to log the chats for future reference should also be considered. Despite these options, it is still difficult to see live online chats replacing traditional company meetings anytime soon.
