Instead of overloading with many useless functions Kanex listened to and used input from about 700 professionals. As a result QuickPopup has a selected set of features based on users' recommendations: * Any incoming message can be "popped up" on screen indicating its importance. Or select a warning sound or an icon flash and deal with it when it's more convenient * Incoming messages can be read without leaving what you are doing * With a single click, keep in touch with individuals or the whole office * All users are automatically found and their presence displayed * Use templates and save time typing standard messages and replying * Data exchange doesn't leave your network and stays confidential * Message delivery is guaranteed * Foreign language messages are correctly handled * Save and print incoming messages Our customers came from creative, production, trade, healthcare, legal, financial and other professional services, education, non-profit and government organizations.
