Start a direct chat

Start a conversation with another user or a member of your SoftwareOne account team.

When sending a message, you can format it using options, such as bold, italics, and underline. You can also use styles and lists to organize your message and add links or images. Additionally, you can use rich text formatting or switch to source code (HTML editor).
