China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA.N), the world’s biggest e-commerce company, is piloting a mobile messaging app aimed at marrying social networking with business, an Alibaba spokeswoman said on Friday, as the company expands its enterprise services.
Since 2009 Alibaba’s cloud unit, also known as Aliyun, has accumulated more than 1.4 million customers, according to Alibaba’s IPO prospectus.
Alibaba declined comment on when DingTalk will be fully launched or how it will generate revenue.
