Access follows the project
You can message the people who work on a project with you. Each project has a channel whose members are its team, kept up to date for you.
MSDP Connect · Messaging for delivery teams
Work talk,
next to the work.
People, groups and project channels in the same place as the sites and work orders they are talking about. Private to your company, organised by your projects.
Why not a public chat app
Your project should not live in personal phones.
Group lists go stale, people who left still read along, and nobody can tell which site a message is about. Connect fixes those three things first.
Know who you are talking to
Every colleague has a profile: job title, an About note, phone, region, the projects and teams you share, and whether they are online.
Codes become live links
Mention a delivery unit or a site and the message shows its name and milestone progress, and opens it in the workspace. Only for records you may see.
Delivery at a glance
A project channel shows the delivery units, open work orders and work in review beside the conversation.
Photos and files stay private
Attach a photo or a document up to 10 MB. Files are checked on upload and only current members can open them.
Desk, tablet and phone
The same conversations in the browser and in the MSDP phone app, with read state and unread counts that agree.
Profiles
A person, not a phone number.
Open any name to see who they are and what you share.
Role, About note, contact details, shared projects, teams and the groups you are both in. People write their own About text, and you see only the projects you have in common.
Compared
What changes when chat belongs to the company.
| Public chat groups | MSDP Connect | |
|---|---|---|
| Who is in a project group | Whoever was added by hand | The project team, automatically |
| When someone leaves the project | They stay until someone removes them | They lose the channel at once |
| Finding a colleague | You need their personal number | A directory of people on your projects, with profiles |
| "Which site is this about?" | Scroll up and guess | The code links to the delivery unit and its status |
| Photos and documents | Saved to personal galleries | Kept in company storage, open to members only |
