What is EIM?
What is EIM? A. The differences between consumer instant messaging (IM) and enterprise instant messaging (EIM) resemble those between a consumer email service like Hotmail and an enterprise email service like Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes. Most businesses do not rely on a consumer-oriented, web-based email system for corporate email, and the same is true of instant messaging. As IM matures and becomes more widely accepted, organizations will want to take advantage of IM technology without the risks of data or liability exposure on consumer IM networks. EIM solutions such as Jabber XCP allow organizations to offer highly secure and highly available IM services to their users. Back to top.
