Ovum Survey Finds NetSfere Among The Top 3 Most Widely Deployed Secure Enterprise Messaging Services

Share

NetSfere is the third most used enterprise platform, clearly outpacing legacy enterprise communication vendors

 

CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A report by Ovum, a market-leading research and consulting firm, commissioned by Infinite Convergence Solutions, a global leader in messaging and mobility solutions, finds that within just a few short years of launching, NetSfere is ranked as the third most used enterprise messaging service behind Skype Business and Cisco's Spark.

In addition to the need for a secure messaging service, the report shows enterprise demand for communication services that enable collaboration beyond messaging. NetSfere's combined HD voice, video and text capabilities - all preferred means of communication in one encrypted platform - validates its ranking among the top services for enterprises.

"With messaging services advancing into all-in-one communications platforms, there's a greater propensity for widespread business use - but also major security risks," said Anurag Lal, CEO and President of Infinite Convergence Solutions, creators of NetSfere. "NetSfere is widely successful because it brings together the ultimate combination of collaboration, productivity, security and compliance that is unmatched when compared to third-party consumer messaging services. We're extremely proud that NetSfere is among the top three enterprise messaging platforms, a clear indication that the well-established legacy platforms have been outpaced by enterprises' communication needs in the mobile era."

Ovum's report, "Secure Enterprise Messaging in the Age of the Chat App," proves a quick-growing need for reliable and secure enterprise messaging services. While most respondents use chat apps for one-to-one messaging for daily work tasks, about 60 percent also use it for group messaging, including one-to-one voice and video communications, and nearly 75 percent of respondents share confidential and non-confidential documents.

"Enterprises have a strict responsibility to ensure employees' communication is secure and confidential, especially those working in industries where communication records are required to be stored for auditing," said Pamela Clark-Dickson, Practice Leader of Ovum. "But our research shows that enterprises are allowing the use of consumer messaging apps that don't provide those vital security features."

The report finds that 65 percent of respondents are concerned about chat apps representing security loopholes and 50 percent are concerned about their inability to monitor communication. Despite enterprises' concerns over consumer messaging services, organizations have still allowed their usage. Sixty-seven percent of respondents allow employees to use consumer mobile messaging apps because they believe it is impossible to effectively block their usage.

In order to meet employees' demands for a simple-to-use, familiar messaging service, NetSfere delivers a similar look and functionality to mirror the popular consumer app experience, but adds the security and compliance features necessary for the workplace, including global cloud-based service availability, device-to-device encryption, location-based features and administrative controls. Built to meet a variety of industry-specific needs, NetSfere also offers regulatory compliances, such as SOX and HIPAA.

McWhorter Foundation Combats Nelson Peltz’s Outdated Ideologies and Advocates for Sustainable Inclusivity In Corporate Leadership29.3.2024 06:59:56 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Calif., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C.K. McWhorter, chairman of the McWhorter Foundation, voices concerns over outdated perspectives in corporate leadership, exemplified by recent remarks from Nelson Peltz regarding Disney's film direction. After encountering instances of racism and exclusivity on Town of Palm Beach Island (known as home to Jeffrey Epstein, Nelson Peltz and others), McWhorter reflects on the disconnect between elite boardroom discussions and the realities faced by diverse communities. While briefly meeting Nelson Peltz and shaking hands after both departed separate lunches, McWhorter initially respected his insights. However, recent comments made by Peltz suggesting Disney should avoid inclusive films have raised eyebrows and prompted McWhorter to speak out.
