Yahoo changes it’s enterprise IM strategy
Tags :Announcement
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?
