Why Your Enterprise Data Management Strategy Should Include Messaging Apps
Enterprise data management strategies are highly complex, requiring intensive consideration of how a company’s data is processed, stored, protected and audited. But despite the challenges, data management is an area where an increasing number of companies are investing time and resources — and for good reason: your data is among your most valuable assets. An organization’s data is also among its greatest vulnerabilities.
A company’s messaging apps and associated messaging data should be a key consideration as an organization develops or refines its enterprise data management strategy. This messaging data is critical not only from a security standpoint, but also from a perspective of compliance for companies that are subject to regulatory oversight.

The day got off to a rocky start and continued down that rocky path for many companies using Slack, which reported a “partial outage” beginning around 9:30 a.m EST on Tuesday, February 22, 2022.

Ephemeral Messaging and its Uses for Business in an Enterprise Messenger App
The term “ephemeral messaging” often brings to mind visions of adulterers and suspicious characters sending text messages and photos that they don’t want the world to see. In fact, that’s how Snapchat originated, although the social media platform has successfully shed its shady roots as it emerged into the mainstream.
The reality is that ephemeral messaging has some very useful and legitimate business applications, making this functionality a good choice for inclusion in an enterprise messaging app. Organizations in a broad array of business sectors can benefit from an ephemeral messaging feature in their messenger app, whether it’s a component of a desktop platform or a companion mobile application.
The Benefits of Using an Enterprise Messaging App for Your Business
