IM Enterprise Product Guide
Everything your organization needs to know about IM Enterprise — a self-hosted collaboration platform you deploy on your own infrastructure, with optional AI that respects your data boundaries.
IM Enterprise is a complete collaboration platform — messaging, files, search, and optional AI —
designed to run entirely on infrastructure you own. No per-seat cloud subscription. No vendor lock-in.
Your data stays in your data center, your VPC, or your sovereign cloud.

What makes IM Enterprise different
Your data never leaves
Messages, files, and AI processing stay inside your network perimeter — not on a vendor's shared infrastructure.
AI on your terms
Every AI feature is optional and individually toggleable. Run models on-premises or block external AI entirely.
Built for compliance
Audit logs, retention policies, MFA, SSO, SCIM, and industry presets — not afterthoughts, but core design.
Code ownership & customization
Extend the platform with your own team or ask Scalovate to build what you need. Customizations to the core are yours — deployment, customization, and IP ownership included.
Deployment, customization, ownership
IM Enterprise is not a closed SaaS product. You receive deployment support, the freedom to customize, and ownership of the enhancements your organization makes to the core platform.
100% code control
Internal engineering teams can add features, integrations, and modules directly — giving you complete control over your collaboration roadmap.
Ideal for: Organizations with in-house developers who want to own their tooling stack.
Custom development by Scalovate
Need capabilities beyond the standard platform? Tell us what you need and we will build it for you — tailored to your deployment and requirements.
Ideal for: Teams that want bespoke features without hiring a platform engineering group.
Build it yourself
If you have the team, extend IM Enterprise on your own schedule using the full source codebase and product guide.
Ideal for: Enterprises keeping all development in-house for security or strategic reasons.
Your IP stays yours
Customizations made to the core platform become your intellectual property — an asset you control, not a rented feature locked behind a subscription.
Ideal for: Legal, procurement, and technology leaders evaluating long-term platform investments.
