Pegasus Instant Messenger

Pegasus Instant Messenger (PIM) optimises the effectiveness of business communications. PIM is a communications framework which will offer a number of services, the first of which will be a business alerts service, offering the ability to distribute information automatically in the form of an instant message.

These messages can be configured in a variety of ways; by business rules/criteria which are monitored on a periodic basis and timed events. The recipients of these messages can also be configured to receive messages regarding very specific topics.

PIM can be easily configured, via a user-friendly wizard, to generate a user definable message. This automatically generates a pop-up window to alert the relevant recipients regarding their chosen criteria, such as:

· Escalate overdue invoices to the Credit Control Manager

· Monitor stock levels dynamically to enable more efficient stock control

· Warn the Budget Holders of information which are outside the budgetary control thresholds

PIM is based on real time data within Opera II; the content of the instant message is dynamically generated and completely up-to-date.

The Benefits of Pegasus Instant Messenger

Developed with the small to medium sized business in mind, PIM does not depend on large-scale or costly hardware systems, offering:

· Ease of Use – there is no need to invest in expensive training or consultancy, PIM is easy to configure and use.

· Data Security – PIM’s security is independent of Opera II; it is safe to deploy information to a variety of personnel, ranging from stock and despatch to sales and accounts staff.

· Independent Delivery - PIM is linked with internal and back office systems; there is no need for a permanent web connection, as is the case with most other ‘instant messenger’ type products.

Pegasus Instant Messenger for your Business

There are two editions of PIM: Desktop Edition and Enterprise Edition.

The Desktop Edition offers excellent ‘entry level’ message facilities to further enhance the usability of Opera II and uniquely integrates with all areas of business. It offers users the ability to generate instant messages in pop up format, and allows up to 5 pre-defined Tasks via a Simple Wizard utility.

The Enterprise Edition offers all the functionality available within the Desktop Edition but is further enhanced with additional Tasks for businesses with a wider range of pre-defined requirements. Further Tasks can be added as a business grows or to accommodate changes in processes and requirements.

In addition to generating instant messages in pop up format, the Enterprise Edition provides customers with the option to receive messages via E-mail.

The Advanced Wizard offers all the functionality of the Simple Wizard as well as allowing user-definable Tasks to be created and timed events to be specified.

Advanced HTML capabilities within the Enterprise Edition enhance the presentation of the information being delivered
