Jive Software provides instant messaging integration between Jive and Openfire. By installing Jive Connects for Openfire, community users can see each other's presence status and initiate chats via the community user interface.
User chat presence is easily discoverable from several locations such as the user profile, user profile hover, and the Jive chat bar. The chat bar makes it even easier to find the people you wish to chat with by showing which users shown on the current page are online, as well as which of your community connections (such as people you're following) and friends are online. Starting a chat with these individuals is made simple via a one-click action, which begins a conversation with the other party via the chatting users' pre-installed XMPP clients.
