This is actually the live demo of the ucx_chat project. ucx_ucc is based on a significantly different architecture that allows for adding custom plug-ins without extending the base project.

This innovative suite of tools enhances business productivity with:

An enterprise class telephone that is available anywhere your employees have an Internet connection
Share important messaging conversations that would normally be hidden in point to point conversations with tools like SMS and Skype.
Choose the most effect method of communications a glance at their on-line or on the phone presence.
Upload, search and download documents, images, videos, and audio files in chat rooms and share with the rest of your team.
Start a private conversations with direct messages
Pin important messages for quick access for everyone
Star important messages for your quick reference
Track popularity of messages with message reactions and see who reacted
Never miss an important message with an advanced notification framework that provides audible, desktop, SMS, and email notifications. Control the noise by customizing the notifications on a room by room basis.

And the bast part is that the data is safe with encrypted connections between your browser and the server. All the data is stored on your own server, not on someone else's cloud.

Archtectural Notes

Elixir & Phoenix Backend
Light JS frontend (jQuery only)
After initial page load, channels are used for UI rendering. HTML is renedered on the server and pushed to the client over channel
Originally build as a stand-a-lone single app.
In the process of refactoring it to be extensible through plugins
We will be using it for a client framework with initial support for the chat app and our commerical WebRTC softphone (delerved as a plugin)
This is a work in progress and requires a lot of clean up before production release
I've experiemented with serveral diffent approaches of channel -> JS rendering, channel message routing, etc. I still need to pick an approach and refactor the other areas for consistency.
