Mio — the leading provider of chat interoperability — recently announced its Series A funding round of $8.7 million led by Zoom Video Communications and Cisco Investments. And Mio will use the funds to enhance its messaging interoperability service for enterprise customers.
Users of team collaboration apps such as Zoom Chat, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Webex by Cisco can use Mio to chat with colleagues and external contacts who use different messaging apps. And Mio supports cross-platform direct messaging, group chats, and universal channels — which enable conversations across multiple teams or organizations.
Mio for Zoom Chat, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Webex is now available at the Mio website (https://m.io). And the company plans to add support for additional workplace messaging apps over the next year.
