Breaking Barriers With the Buddy List
What was once seen as a chatting tool for teenagers, IM is becoming a required tool for more and more businesses. According to Gartner Research, enterprise instant messaging is growing at approximately 20% annually and is expected to be in use by 70% of all companies by the end of this year. By 2005, it's expected to surpass e-mail as the primary online communication tool. <br/>With IM, you can look at your list of common users or buddy list and "see" who is online via presence awareness (the ability to view who is online and available to chat). When you're working on a time sensitive contract negotiation or just need an answer ASAP, IM is invaluable for lawyers.
