Well, my company (ProcessOne) has been doing this since 2002 or so.
We are trying to convince customers that XMPP is a worthy
technology, but it is becoming harder and harder to do.
Actually, I see xmpp as a possible solution here for multiple
reasons.
There is a hype about Slack right now, but Slack is rather expensive.
They have a lot of users, who don't seem to mind paying for it. Perhaps
the market has decided that it's good enough to use hosted services like
Slack and Hipchat?
If we could provide a similar UX in top of self-hosted XMPP, that
would be a good selling point.
IIRC, the Kaiwa folks have already done this:

Furthermore, big companies are often bound by compliance requirements
(archival duties, on site storage, etc). This is another selling
point.
That's true, but the market is relatively small.
IMHO all we need here is a server package / consultancy to roll out
the implementation, a usable set of clients for mobile, desktop and
the web, and a compelling 2FA authentication mechanism.
That's not an insignificant amount of work, and IMHO it would require a
small, focused team (a la the Signal team). In other words, you're
talking about starting a company or a non-profit organization, which
means finding money, hiring a team, making hard business and technology
decisions, etc.
