Launched in 2010, Salesforce Chatter is a user-friendly platform for Salesforce CRM users to communicate with colleagues within their company.   Salesforce Chatter allows users to collaborate and communicate with colleagues in real-time via a ‘newsfeed’.   At Perpetual West, we use Salesforce Chatter on a daily basis and highly recommend it to all of our Salesforce CRM clients.  Simply put, Chatter reduces emails and meetings.  Why should you use Salesforce Chatter?
