Incredibly true; for something as simple and necessary as messaging, the company I work for has: 1. A company-wide and approved solution (proprietary) that's very buggy. 2. A jabber server someone threw together so everyone could use their client or choice. 3. Google chat (through various clients). 4. MSN messenger / Skype. And they all get used by different people for different things. It's very frustrating. Switching to a new thing would be a non-starter, probably (and we couldn't move to Slack anyway, but that's another issue).
