THE EVOLUTION OF INSTANT MESSAGING
Instant messaging has established its role in businesses, with nearly 65 million workers already using consumer instant messaging products, and that number is expected to grow to 255 million by 2005 (IDC, August 2002). Yahoo! Messenger is an industry leader with nearly 13 billion messages sent in July 2002(1), the highest average minutes spent(2), and the fastest growing number of unique users in the past six months(3). Yahoo! Messenger Enterprise Edition leverages the proven functionality and familiarity of Yahoo!'s consumer offering while providing the additional features that business customers need to standardize on a corporate IM product: Security, Control, Interoperability, and Integration.
"By facilitating daily communication and increasing worker productivity, instant messaging has the opportunity to impact businesses more profoundly than any application since the introduction of e-mail," said Jim Fanella, senior vice president, Yahoo! Enterprise Solutions. "Yahoo! Messenger Enterprise Edition represents a milestone in the evolution of instant messaging as a must-have tool for businesses and reinforces our commitment to deliver Internet-based communications services that meet the unique demands of business customers."
