Communication is a fundamental need of humankind. – “Sapiens: A brief history of humankind”
Startalk is going to be a universal, high-performance IM software for business. Currently, there is a lack of open-sourced IM systems in the world. Startalk is changing this situation.
The predecessor of Startalk is Qtalk, which have ran smoothly in Qunar for more than 3 years. The core of Startalk plays a role of customer service tool in Qunar.
In other words, a single core has solved Qunar’s problem of communication internally and externally.
- OA
- Customer service system for business
- First-party SDKs for multiple IM situations
- Open-sourced
We are transferring our focus from git of our company to Github, aiming to provide you services that are stable and long-lasting.
- Private deployment is highly recommended
Private deployment is the need for businesses. Taking efficient communication and expansibility as basics, we try our best to help enterprises.
Startalk focuses on private deployment, which leads to the complexity of the log-in process of Startalk. Luckily, our team not only made the process of designing IM system easy, but also decrease the cost of it.
Usually, when you are going to use an app, there are three steps for you to get access to it:
- Download the app
- Modify settings based on guide
- Sign-up & Log-in
However, since Startalk focuses on private deployment, the server of app needs to be deployed in your company. Therefore, there are four steps for you to get access to Startalk:
- Download the app
- Deploy the backstage system
- Modify client app through backstage configuration
- Import accounts & Log-in
If you want to try private deployment without cost, you can try it in public domain
If you have decided to use private deployment or transfer your data from public to private domain.. Let’s begin!
