PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - August 6, 2007) - The Radicati Group, Inc.'s latest study,
"Instant Messaging Market, 2007-2011," offers an in-depth analysis of the
market for Instant Messaging. The study divides the market into four
distinct segments: Public IM, Enterprise IM, IM Management/Security, and IM
Clients. It provides market size, installed base and revenue market share
by vendor, four-year forecasts, and breakouts by business size for each
segment of the market.
According to the study, Enterprise IM adoption is being driven by a number
of factors, including its immediacy of use, and the benefits of group
collaboration. The report shows growing demand as major platforms, such as
IBM Lotus Sametime and Microsoft LCS/OCS, make instant messaging a key
component of their unified communications strategy.
IM Management/Security segment will also see strong growth through 2011,
driven by the ongoing need by organizations to secure their IM networks
from an ever-increasing multitude of security threats.
Revenues in the Instant Messaging Market, including all segments, is
expected to grow from $203 million in 2007, to $530 million by 2011.
