uKnowva Messenger's threading allows asynchronous discussion to happen over chat, which completely changes what chat can be used for in a company. uKnowva Messenger's threading allows managers to weigh in on discussions even when they can only check in once a day, it allows workers to participate in discussions even when they live in different time zones, and it allows neighboring teams to keep tabs on conversations that might affect them.
Communication is at the core of the operation of every large business. Many senior personnel spend most of their days in meetings, and many decisions have to bubble up a management chain because employees on the ground don't have enough context. Employers also lose out on remote talent because communication with remote team members is too burdensome with their existing tools.
No chat product comes even close to uKnowva Messenger in terms of enabling serious discussion, engaging remote participants, spreading knowledge to neighboring teams, and making efficient use of managers' time.
