Instant Messaging is becoming a part of routine business in the corporate world.
Today, businesses are using IM technology for employee-to-employee communications (chatting, multimedia conferencing, file sharing and screen sharing,) external communications (in supply chain management and customer relations scenarios,) and as a means for interacting with corporate systems (sending out announcements and alerts, remotely querying databases for information, or interfacing with enterprise applications.) These businesses are realizing the benefits of how cost-effective forms of real-time communications and collaboration can remake critical business processes.
But the challenge for enterprises is understanding Instant Messaging, deploying it efficiently, and leveraging it effectively. Additionally, like any IT investment, particular attention must be paid to compatibility with external and legacy applications, security and regulatory compliance.
