Collaboration and communication in the digital age have come a long way as it is not restricted to emails and messages anymore. Having a platform for the stakeholders involved in a business that enables them to communicate with each other will be a strong driving force. The flawless communication that can be switched to multiple devices without any interruption is an added convenience. 
Effective communication through chat apps will be the cornerstone for any business as there will be practically spam. With faster response rates and real-time collaborations, these apps help to foster long-term relationships among the stakeholders. End-to-end conversation on a fully customizable chat app will be a game-changing resource for businesses. 
In this device-dependent age, as the attention span dropped to a mere few seconds, the speed of communication on these apps will outpace other options in the market. They can also be an effective channel for stakeholders to connect with each other on an informal level which will strengthen their connection with the business. Incorporating Gifs and emojis inside the chat windows will be a delight for the users. 
Although effective use of visuals will help create a connection among the stakeholders, having multiple modules or menus will be the bridge that connects them with the business. With predefined user guidelines, the stakeholders will get a proper alignment with the brand.
Keeping track of their persona and activity is crucial for businesses as it will help them to come up with the driving factors. These factors can help the development team to pursue the right direction and not over committing to the experimentation phase. Constant improvement is required to compete in the market, so the facelift of the app should not be experimental in its entirety.
Communication within the community/organization can help with exchanging sensitive information and issues quickly saving the face of a business. These apps can also enable the stakeholders to communicate with each other effectively ensuring the smooth flow of operations in the background.
Even though the messages are typed informally contradictory to emails, there are chances that the messages can be misinterpreted on either side leading to adverse issues. In such cases, the option to send voice messages and media will come in handy. End-to-end communication can be congenial until the information that is supposed to be shared has a wider audience.
Group chats can be the ideal option as multiple people can be added to the conversation to ensure that everyone is updated with the topic at hand. Also, key information can be found in these chains of messages which can save time for the users. Connectivity options like voice and video calls can keep the users engaged with their conversation which will boost the overall app usage. These apps are also economical in terms of server space which aids in preventing a breakdown in communications and the need for expensive communication systems for long-distance connections.
As these apps provide unrestricted communication 24/7 with timely responses from stakeholders involved in it, unlike random responses from the public, they are ultimately the cornerstone of a business.
