Now I talked of this in blog and an E-Pro article I did previously on AOL IM
Tags :Sametime
AOL feels that you just can't get enough out
of the free IM client to date apparently. They are merging a business
side technology into the public AIM client. This is exactly a point
I was making in my E-Pro
article. So many businesses
and user rely on the public AOL IM client, they are looking to capitalize
on that with this
new offering:
On Thursday (Jun 12th
2004), AOL's 36 million active IM users will get access to the new AIM
Business Services, which marries voice conferencing from Lightbridge and
Web meetings technology from WebEx in a single interface to power online
meetings.
Now how will they go about integrating
this? With a new communications taskbar to grab a buddy and have
a per-minute, per-participant meeting. I say big thumbs up to marketing
on this approach trying to move SMB into the AIM Business Services.
