IT Professionals: What should you look for in Enterprise Instant Messaging Solutions?

Dear ,

Enterprise instant messaging tools have evolved out of the need for organizations to have secure, audited communications between its employees, customers, and suppliers.  Organizations today, especially those in regulated environments need to take a hard look at IM use in their organizations and decide whether a secure, enterprise-level IM solution is necessary.

In order to make your assessment easier, we have compiled a thorough feature/functionality matrix for Enterprise IM solutions.

For instance: Do you know...

• Which solutions are compliant with various regulatory standards such as FISMA?
• Which products support protocols such as SIP?
• What third party IM solutions can be integrated in?
• Is presence management supported?
• What products can be purchased as a point solution or do you need the whole suite?
• What attack protection methods are available?
• What spyware, anti-virus and content-filtering solutions are supported?
• Can your end-users send video files over IM?
• What is the pricing? And, support and maintenance?

Why purchase a guide?

...Because you want to spend your company's money
   wisely
...Because if you make the wrong decision, it will be an
   expensive mistake
...Because you want to be up on the latest technology quickly!

And, last, but not least, because you can confidently build a shortlist of products that you know will meet your specific criteria for functionality, cost, and service levels.
