- stevesimmons 8y agoAh, thank you for that explanation. I used to work at a Commodities trading business. I never understood before why Yahoo Messenger was part of their standard Win desktop build. My Precious Metals desk never used it. Makes sense, though, if it was for the energy traders in Houston.
- ren01r 8y agoI'm curious what they use now.
- vostok 8y agoICE Chat and Cloud 9 come to mind. In general it's going to vary from product to product.
- evrydayhustling 8y agoWhatsApp is huge. It's an international market and end end encryption is valued.
- vostok 8y agoMy firm prohibits whatsapp for business use and I know it's not the only one.
- evrydayhustling 8y agoYes it's a compliance nightmare. Context for my WhatsApp comment is SE Asian market if that makes a difference. Also curious if prohibitions are effective or if people still negotiate on other channels and then document on official one.
