the required tools installed on it

 CONCLUSION AND SCOPE
The chat overflow is a really efficient way to increase the productivity of a
workspace in a company but as it is only limited to LAN makes it only
appropriate for a single company. There is always a room for
improvements in any software package, however good and efficient it may
be.
Right now we are dealing with text communication only, in future this
application maybe extended to include features such as:
● File Transfer
● Voice chat
● Real time video chat
