The notion of having teams of people that all share the same physical location is nearly obsolete. Given the disparate cost of living in different regions, companies are often forced to leverage expertise at a price they can afford wherever they happen to find it.
In recognition of that reality, Kato.im today launched Kato Teams, a free chat and file-sharing service that is optimized for the needs of the business user rather than the consumer.
Kato CEO Andrei Soroker says that among the things that differentiates Kato Teams is a global search tool that identifies the most relevant conversations taking place for an individual business user, the ability to share files within the context of a video chat and an application programming interface (API) that makes it simpler to integrate Kato Teams with third-party applications.
