AOL IM is one of the few reasons that most people have stuck with AOL in recent days, or at least that is what it seems like. One survery showed that the majority of people with AOL have been with them for so long due to not wishing to change their email address. Many, many people stick with AIM because they do not wish to change their screen name and so many folks are still on AIM.

I would encourage you to look to Brosix Enterprise Messaging for our business mesaging needs. Check out Brosix.com for more!

Many, many reasons exist to use Brosix Enterprise Messaging. I have outlined the reasons on various blogs and websites throughout the net. One of the reasons I’d suggest using it is that it has no advertisements as AIM and other clients have but even beyond that very simple reason here are more:

1. Unlike GChat, AIM, and Yahoo you have complete control over your network with Brosix.

2. Brosix is encrypted – offering complete security.

3. Brosix offers audio features similar to Skype and other clients – but it also offers Voicemail which is nice.

4. Brosix offers more collaboration tools than other clients including screen sharing, whiteboards, etc.

5. Brosix allows you to build your own network and then host it on their server.

6. Brosix is more inexpensive than a lot of enterprise options.

7. Brosix Enterprise Messaging will keep enterprise email inboxes less full – or should at any rate, if used properly.

8. Brosix controls allow you to add clients to your network which should be extremely beneficial as you try to differentiate yourself from competitors.
