In-House Instant Messaging Solution

[Guest]

Not sure of all of my options or the "best" solution here. The organization I work for has a lot of licensing with Microsoft so I looked into Microsoft Lync. Not sure if that's necessarily the best. Looked at some other solutions and opinions and I couldn't find lots of people talking about Lync, so thought I would ask and do some more research before going with it.

We have a big house and we used to use MSN messenger with its group feature, but since it turned to skype, we switched to a free program called LANmessenger. Its open source, free to use, and allows pm's, group messaging, separate groups, everything.

We currently use OCS but will be transitioning to Lync soon. It has nice integration with Outlook/Exchange. Have not used any others.
