HelixCHAT is a truly integrated solution that incorporates crucial elements of instant messaging, file transfer and email. The advantage of this is that while HelixCHAT delivers functionality for secure communication, it does so in a way that feels recognizable to the user. HelixCHAT integrates seamlessly into the user’s workflow through email notifications and plug-ins for common email clients allowing users to access messages directly with one click and a security sign-on. This makes adoption easier in the corporate environment.
