The news has just been published, Microsoft acquires Parlano. Parlano is a software company that produces persistent group chat solutions.

Those persistent group chat open a new area of development for Unified Communications. It basically allows a user to participate in a discussion with a lower engagement than is requires for a meeting. Half way between the mail, fully asynchronous and overwhelming, and the chat rather demanding, group chat has found a lot of utilization in the finance sector. One of the advantages is that the group chat car be archived and search after the discussion has ended.
