DNN Live Chat

9/6/2013 9:00:00 PM -- Ted Krapf

<p>So the age old question... buy it or build it?</p> <p>Recently I was helping a client with their new ERP that my team and I developed for them. &nbsp;Part of the ERP is public facing and we wanted to integrate a Live Chat feature to help the client's customers transition through the changes. &nbsp;I was very surprised to find a real lack of quality Live Chat services out there that fell into a happy medium between Good Features and Free. &nbsp;So after toiling around with a few canned solutions and services, I set out to develop my own but had a need for it to be complete web based, allow for desktop apps to tie into it, and archive all the conversations into a database for reporting/analytics.</p> <p>After just a few days work, the <strong>DNN Live Chat </strong>you now see on my home page is the end result. &nbsp;My DNN Live Chat is a simple pluggable service that can be added to a DNN website or any other HTML based site. &nbsp;Give my DNN Live Chat a test spin. &nbsp;See what you think and please share your feedback.</p> <p>If you are interested in purchase the source code, or would like an account on the DNN Live Chat system for a minimal monthly fee, please shoot me an email, and I'd be more than happy to get you setup.</p>
