I already use ICQ/iChat/AOL etc. Why do I need another Chat/IM/File Sharing application?
1) Security and control: Most clients require connection to an external server beyond user control. Many companies hestitate to use ‘public’ Instant Messaging services for company related communications as there is a potential for confidential information to be accessed during transmission between the internal company network and the internet. NodeScan servers can be set up inside the local network, behind the firewall, keeping internal communications internal. Individuals can also retain control of their communications by running their own server. As a further level of protection NodeScan supports encoded services to prevent eavesdropping. Critical information such as file search queries and results, and messages, are not sent over the network in plain text. NodeScan also offers higher level security features such as password protection for files and IP address access controls. 2) Consistency and usability: NodeScan provides a unified, consistent interface to a variety of services.
