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.

I could go on but you get the point. Email me at nhahn at brosix dot org with your reasons or stories about why Brosix makes sense for you and your company.

And as always go to Brosix.com for details or to purchase Brosix!

Yahoo just launched a highly lauded iPhone Instant Messaging application, this is another positive sign as Yahoo attempts to turn around what used to be one of the leading tech companies in Silicon Valley. Yahoo took a series of wrong turns in the early 2000′s which lead them down the wrong path at the same time that Google soared. Now they are a distant second in search and looking for a magic bullet.

Their iPhone app is no magic bullet but Carol Bartz and her new team have begun to slowly move Yahoo in the right direction.

Yahoo IM on the iPhone is a great tool, but I would suggest avoiding it for enterprise purposes. Like any of the free messaging programs out there it has loopholes and security issues that can be exploited.

Hacker-produced worms have been running rampant in both microblogging and instant messaging programs in recent years and recent days. That is one of the reasons that Brosix Enterprise Messaging offers a great portable product and one of the reasons that I recommend using it over Yahoo IM or the other clients out there.

Brosix has only been around since 2006 and they have built a wonderful product in just a few short years. I recommend checking it out at http://www.brosix.com!
