According to the statistics provided by The Radicati Group, <\/span><b><i>the average office worker receives 121 emails per day<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Moreover, <\/span><b><i>this overwhelming volume of email communication leaves 30% of workers feeling inundated by their inboxes <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Adobe)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> However, in recent years, the steady entrance of instant messaging for business is reshaping the idea of enterprise communication. It has redefined the notion of communicating under one\u2019s own branding while simultaneously ensuring the traceability of sensitive business communication in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But surprisingly, enterprises don\u2019t want their employees to use personal IM applications like Facebook Messenger, Viber, and Skype. Rather, they prefer to have a dedicated Instant messaging app that represents their corporate identity and helps them keep an audit trail as well as administrative control. This is where the role of Instant Messaging for Business truly comes to the forefront.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Instant_Messaging\"><\/span><b>What is Instant Messaging?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/colleagues-using-instant-messaging.jpg\" alt=\"colleagues using instant messaging\" width=\"454\" height=\"369\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instant messaging or IM, in its broadest sense, refers to the use of real-time text, audio, and video communication platforms, that allow users to exchange messages and connect swiftly. Unlike the asynchronous nature of email, instant messaging allows for immediate communication, which is why these are also referred to as \u2018Instant Chat Apps\u2019. Within the corporate sphere, IM is also referred to as \u2018Business IM\u2019 because the IM platform is specifically tailored to the corporate setup.

A typical IM app works by facilitating connection between known users which is usually done by using a contact list or a friend list. Most of the modern IM apps use \u2018Push\u2019 technology and incorporate various additional features including emojis, file sharing, video chat, location sharing and tracking, etc. Here is a step-by-step detail about how a typical IM app works:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, the user launches an IM application on his phone. The IM client attempts to establish communication with a designated IM server that is associated with the enterprise or organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response, the IM server validates the username and password, thus completing the login process and establishing the connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once logged in, the user can see a list of contacts who are online. As the user logs in and out, their status on the chat app change to online and offline respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a user sends a message to a contact, it traverses from their IM client to the connected IM server. From there, it directly reaches the receiver along with a notification on their device.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conversation in real-time happens as the messages go back and forth between the clients and servers with very little delay.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Features_of_Instant_Messaging_for_Business\"><\/span><b>Key Features of Instant Messaging for Business<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instant_Messaging\"><\/span><b>Instant Messaging<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s the most fundamental feature offered by instant messaging apps that allows real-time text communication between individual users or even groups. Through this feature, users can make quick and synchronous conversations making it ideal for timely business discussions and the exchange of information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audio_Video_Calling\"><\/span><b>Audio &amp; Video Calling<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another significant feature of IM apps is audio and video calling which allows users to have voice and video conversations in real time. In business scenarios where detailed discussions are required, audio and video calling serve the purpose. Moreover, for remote work and virtual meetings, this feature is simply invaluable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Conferencing\"><\/span><b>Call Conferencing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conferencing feature expands on voice and video calling by allowing multiple users or participants to join a single call. Again an extremely useful feature for group meetings, client presentations, and any other type of collaboration that requires the participation of multiple parties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Media_Sharing\"><\/span><b>Media Sharing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending and receiving information is essential for streamlined business communication. The media sharing feature makes it possible by enabling employees to share various types of files such as documents, photos, videos, and audio files, directly within the IM platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Directory_Searching\"><\/span><b>Directory Searching<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This feature simplifies contact management by allowing users or employees to quickly search and connect with colleagues within the organization.
