Before going to its benefits, first you have to understand, what is a chat application to a business? The popular notion of chatting is the exchange of words and files between two friends or two contacts. Those are mere technical words to define the concept of a chat application. But for a business organization – What does it mean for a business to own its own chat application?
A chat application for a business is a medium of communication for both between the enterprise, and to the outside world. Confused with this technical jargon? Let me make it simple. You stay in touch with other members of the organization, or even with outsiders all the time. Text your message, and even share files in the formats of picture, audio and video.
You may ask, ‘So what’s the big deal?” You can do the same through instant-messengers such as WhatsApp or WeChat. Well, you missed a point here.
