29. Businesses rely on communication for almost every aspect of their operation. From conducting sensitive conversations between two individuals to instantly disseminating critical information across a mass audience and even recruiting new customers, a number of established and emerging channels allow businesses to meet a number of communication needs which include

Email

Arguably the most prolific of all business communication tools, email creates a wide array of communication channels. Employees can use the tool to communicate valuable information with one another, and managers and executives use email to communicate with reports or with higher leadership. Because email has such a wide audience, businesses can use the technology to keep in touch with clients, provide and receive feedback, solicit new customers and even offer a venue for customers to contact liaisons or executives at any time of day. Email also allows users to send and receive files as attachments to messages, so technology firms can instantly distribute critical patches and updates.

Social Networking Websites

According to Internet business news publication IP Watchdog, social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter have emerged as valuable business communication tools. With a free account on a social networking site, businesses can instantly increase exposure to existing and potential customers, and the proprietary communication channels within these sites allow customers to immediately contact someone at the business. To boost the value of social networking, occasional updates about upcoming sales or special promotions can go out through social media to keep customers interested and attract an increasing audience.

Instant Messengers

Instant messengers combine the instant, synchronous nature of telephone conversations with the convenience of email. When employees need to communicate with one another, or when managers need to communicate with direct reports, IM clients allow this communication to take place with only a few key strokes. Many IM clients also allow for advanced functionality like checking an employee's status at any time, exchanging files and creating an impromptu video conference. As if to prove the value of instant messenger communication, six of 10 great business communication tools listed in a 2008 article on Mashable.com included some form of instant messaging.

Web Conferences

Conference calls have long been a staple of business communication, but the rich media available through Internet technology takes this communication tool a step further. Collaborating employees can quickly share ideas through an online portal, and advanced functionality allows presenters to share a desktop or video with all participants at the same time. Sales professionals can also use these tools to make pitches to customers, and some Web conference clients allow for the simultaneous delivery of voice, presentations and video.

VOIP

Businesses have relied on telephones for a number of years, and Voice Over Internet Protocol, or VOIP, allows businesses to enjoy quality voice connections at a much lower cost. By using an adapter that breaks voice conversations into data packets for transmission across the Internet, businesses can cut ties with traditional telephone companies and eliminate the monthly phone bill. In addition, according to the communication website CommunicationIdeas.com, the Internet-connected nature of VOIP means business professionals can check voice messages, view call histories and re-route calls all from any Internet-connected computer anywhere in the world.
