Yahoo changes it’s enterprise IM strategy


Tags :


Yahoo has closed the enterprise software group and laid off some workers.  The most important move affected by this is the push that Yahoo was trying to make into the enterprise IM space that Sametime owns.  While they will still sell the Yahoo Business Messenger service, it will be covered under the group that runs the free consumer product in terms of sales, support and marketing.

According to Yahoo, they are not abandoning the product of effort at all.  Just providing different management.

"Enterprise solutions as a division is being parceled out to be with complimentary elements on the consumer side," Yahoo spokesman Chris Homan said.


So does this mean to everyone that Sametime has won so far and Microsoft is now making it's drive at the market?  Who has things to say?
