Johns Hopkins Instant Messaging (JHIM) offers a secure, internal Instant Messaging solution that can be used to collaborate among people within the Johns Hopkins community. JHIM uses Microsoft's Lync Server 2010, and offers advanced capabilities beyond text-based IM including voice and video communications, and desktop sharing. The supported client software to access JHIM is Microsoft Lync. Like most popular IM clients, the JHIM supports "presence detection" which can help determine if contacts are available through the use of status indicators such as "available", "away" or "in a meeting."
