Perhaps the most basic necessity of business, yet one of the most important, is communication.

There are numerous platforms that have been developed to improve communication between all employees. Below is a master list of enterprise Jive Software
Businesses must move at a rapid pace in order to keep up with consumer demands. While instant messaging is certainly no break-through technology, it is still useful in helping employees rapidly communicate with one another. Jive also allows for employees to communicate and collaborate with one another in other programs and apps including Outlook, Office, Salesforce, Box and Evernote as well as any Web-based app.

A barebones enterprise social network, Yammer allows employees to send messages to all members of the company, tag individuals in messages, join different company groups as well as post pictures in the continuously updated feed.
