Business messenger has the ability to drive the business revenues and people as instant messaging changes everything in way of connectivity, and communication to create a strong rage.
The once ubiquitous phone call is on the verge of becoming history. The dependence on calling to convey information or exchange thoughts is slowly becoming a relic, if it has not already. The new mode of connecting with people is the messaging platform. A recent survey commissioned byFacebook and conducted by Nielsen revealed that close to 60% of people prefer instant messaging for business over an oral call.

EVOLUTION:
Communication forms the prime fuel for the smooth functioning of the machine called business. Individuals, teams, groups, peers need to deal in real-time data exchange to ensure on-time completion of projects and meeting deadlines. A dedicated messenger for business will be an ideal solution to facilitate lateral as well as horizontal communication within an organization. Facebook had been playing this role effectively, though it is essentially a social media and social networking service more than a business messaging platform.
Taking a cue from the Menlo Park monolith, several innovative and business-centric collaboration chat platforms have been emerging over the last 5 years in particular. They have successfully identified the dividing line between social networking and business collaboration – the later a more serious and purposeful vehicle for an all-around economic development and social upliftment.
In fact, Facebook too, after acquiring WhatsApp, has branched out into business messenger arena with its WhatsApp For Business version.
