FOSTER CITY, Calif. and NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2002
-- FaceTime Communications, the premier provider of
network-independent instant messaging (IM) applications for
business, and KVS, the leading provider of content archiving and
management solutions, today announced that they have entered into a
strategic partnership. As part of the agreement, KVS and FaceTime
will integrate IMAuditor with KVS' Enterprise Vault Archive to
provide a comprehensive, behind the firewall solution for
Microsoft-centric IT organizations that rely on Exchange 2000 IM
and MSN .NET Messenger. The KVS/FaceTime solution offers brokerage
and other financial firms the ability to manage, monitor and
archive IM communication while complying with relevant SEC and NASD
regulations. The combined approach brings a consistent, compliant
archiving environment for both email and IM during a time when
increased scrutiny by regulatory bodies on e-communications has
driven front-page headlines. "FaceTime's complete support for all
Microsoft IM protocols, in addition to their forward looking
product development roadmap, is why KVS chose to integrate with
IMAuditor," said Paul Neel, Director Business Development at KVS.
"The FaceTime's IMAuditor integration with Enterprise Vault gives
our customers a complete, behind the firewall compliance solution
that is designed for the Microsoft platform." "Financial
institutions continue to discover widespread use of instant
messaging by broker-dealer-traders for time-sensitive business
communications," said Glen D. Vondrick, FaceTime's President and
CEO. "FaceTime's enterprise solution integrates with both the
public instant messaging networks and Microsoft's enterprise IM
offerings enabling financial firms to seamlessly integrate
compliance solutions with their existing processes. FaceTime is
excited that the leading provider of Microsoft Exchange archiving
and management solutions has chosen to work with IMAuditor for
compliance. Our partnership with KVS ensures all instant messaging
conversations are archived and supervised in conjunction with the
secure, scalable KVS Enterprise Vault archiving services."
FaceTime's unique technology advantage, IM expertise, and ability
to provide customers with authorized application access and
integration to any network, enables the company to deliver
practical, value-add solutions on multiple IM network
infrastructures for any business. FaceTime's IMAuditor provides IT
professionals the confidence and information security controls to
manage public and private IM networks in the enterprise. The
FaceTime IMAuditor includes an easy installation and configuration
process, no change in behavior for users of existing instant
messaging clients and buddy lists, Web-based reports, and support
for existing corporate proxy servers.
