Messaging

Historically, IM (Instant Messaging) has been the privilege of very large, distributed enterprise organisations that use it to support virtual teams.

More recently, IM has also entered the small to medium space, introduced through the ‘back door’ by workers with hotmail accounts (‘grey IT’). CIOs have shifted their attitude from a grudging acceptance of IM to its recognition as a vital collaborative business tool.

IM works in real-time. It is instant, interactive and natural for people to use, making it the preferred starting point for all business communications.

The key to legitimising IM for business purposes is to run it within a secure, federated services model – where secure access to individuals can be provided across organisational boundaries, linking them together as a virtual team.
