Popularity of IM Increasing

Good Morning/Afternoon Everyone! This is Kelsey here. I know posted earlier today, but I found an article that I thought would be worth sharing. The Radicati Group, an organization who helps consumers and businesses choose the right pieces and types of technological products to fit their needs, just released a study last week about instant messaging.

They claim that the number of instant messaging accounts (individuals who have an IM screen name) will nearly double from 2008 to 2012. That’s a big increase! With so many opportunities for customizing IM programs and making them your own with such perks as video messaging, file transfer capability, and SMS Text Messaging, it’s easy to see why IM programs are rapidly becoming more popular.

The article named the different venues for instant messaging- “Public IM, Enterprise IM, IM Management & Security, and IM Aggregators.” Brosix falls into the Enterprise Instant Messaging category, as their product is mainly for companies and organizations. However, they are also contenders for the “Management & Security” category, as Brosix is continuously working hard to provide an IM program that is both heavily secure and easy to manage.
