Instant messaging – a technology with a future

We often consider instant messengers to be a very recent invention, mainly because of their widespread popularity over the last few years.

In fact, the beginnings of instant messaging (IM) date as far back as the 1960s, when it was used in multi-user operating systems. Instant messengers are therefore older than the Internet itself.

It wasn’t until the 1990s that the technology saw its first great boom. It was mostly young people who used it, but the advantages of the tool were already clearly visible: it was extremely efficient, very cheap as compared to other communication forms, and surprisingly easy to use.

This is the reason why more and more people became fans of instant messaging, and why it is now a preferred communication tool for young and old alike. Recently, IM has been widely used by businesses looking to make communication faster and cost-efficient, especially by companies with big multinational operations that would otherwise require great communication expenses.

However, in order to deal with virus threat, unauthorized use, and security issues, special corporate instant messengers are being developed to cater for the needs of various businesses and organizations.

One of the latest developments in this area is the Brosix Corporate Instant messenger. It is a powerful, easy-to-use tool, and an excellent solution for enterprises and individuals that need to improve communications, business productivity, and relationships with partners and customers.

Several main factors make Brosix the preferred choice of both large corporations and small-sized businesses.

First, Brosix ensures complete confidentiality, security, and virus protection. While information exchanged over a public instant messenger can leak to practically anyone, Brosix customers create their own private network, hosted on Brosix servers, and all traffic is encrypted with 256 but keys which only the intended recipient users can decrypt.

Moreover, the solution provides an all-in-one package in order to help customers organize better their business, clients support, and office interaction. Brosix supports not only text messages, but also Whiteboard, Co-Browse, Voice/Video Chat, etc.

Last, but not least, the tool has inexpensive flat-free pricing. The subscription fee for a customer’s network depends on the number of users registered in it. The network capacity is increased in blocks of 10, and can be easily expanded at any time.
