What is GroupWise Messenger?
GroupWise Messenger is a secure instant messaging system that provides for real-time text chat and instant messaging within the Drew community. In this respect, it is similar to third-party services that you may be familiar with such as AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, Windows Messenger and others. In contrast to these services however, GroupWise Messenger is available within the Drew community only. All messages are encrypted and pass via an instant messaging server located on the Drew campus. As a result, we strongly recommend the use of GroupWise Messenger for University business over third-party services such as AOL Instant Messenger.
