What opportunities exist in the enterprise market that specifically benefits from this feature?

I'm working on Google's Governance, Risk and Compliance management system.[1] Porting it to Meteor would accomplish several goals:

* clean and much simpler code base

* automatically (reactively) updated status reports on compliance across various systems depending on numerous components throughout Google in continuous flux

* ease of onboarding new developers in the team given the simplicity and ease of learning of Meteor

I worked with Meteor.js on an enterprise app a year ago but it seems to be more mature now. I think this is a great time to begin porting it.
Sky is the limit here.

Low latency (real-time) can be an important part of effective and engaging communication.

Sure, it's not for everything; I wouldn't want my email communicating word by word to my recipients as I typed.

However, enterprises usually involve a lot of communication - with team members, stakeholders, and clients. - there are many opportunities to spice things up and make them more engaging & effective.

There's also the opportunity to instantly communicate non-prose - manipulating datasets, images, graphs and charts in real time.

In what specific industries are these needed? I'm curious as to how I can build an enterprise app in meteor.js.
You want a list of industries, that involve communication with team members, and customers?

I think you need to take your curiosity to google (or the real world), and do your own research.

okay I just wanted to get your opinion.
