Springboard: IM the top collaboration tool among Asian firms

08.09.2009
Instant messaging (IM) is the second most popular and widely used collaboration and communication tool in business enterprises across Asia Pacific after email, said Springboard Research Monday.

According to a recent Springboard, enterprise instant messaging applications have started gaining attention from businesses, even though a majority of businesses in Asia Pacific use consumer instant messaging tools.

Findings of this report are based on Springboard's interviews with 469 CIOs, IT managers and business managers in over 400 large and SMB enterprises in Australia, New Zealand, China, India, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore.
