ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 8, 2002 -- Furthering its
leadership position as the premier provider of network-independent,
enterprise solutions for the management and control of instant
messaging (IM), FaceTime Communications today introduced its
award-winning IMAuditor application for the management, control and
interoperability of any enterprise-wired or wireless device, with
public and private IM networks. The industry-first wireless IM
solution from FaceTime bridges all wireless networks and supports
thin clients for all major wireless devices, including: Palm III,
V, VII, Visor, RIM and CE devices for secure, mobile-to-mobile
wireless IM. As part of its wireless initiative, FaceTime has
expanded its strategic partnership program to make its
industry-leading IM solutions available through reseller channels.
The FaceTime partnership program, which already boasts strategic
alliances with leading application and technology providers such as
AOL, Microsoft, IBM, Reuters, Yahoo!, Assentor, KVS and Zantaz,
provides FaceTime customers with best-of-breed, comprehensive
workflow solutions for enterprise administration, management and
control of business-critical IM and email communications. NuTech
Software Solutions Inc., a New York City-based supplier of RIM
wireless devices and specialists in Microsoft database integration,
security and e-commerce applications, has joined FaceTime's partner
program to resell the FaceTime IMAuditor solution to financial
services customers that require compliance with government and
industry regulations as well as the ability to control access,
manage and interoperate using any wired or wireless device with
public and private IM networks. "FaceTime's historical leadership
innovating the IM space and particularly in the financial services
industry with over 100 enterprise customers and 35 leading
financial services firms made them the ideal partner for NuTech,"
said Bill Silver, CEO, NuTech Software Solutions. "The FaceTime
IMAuditor solution has clearly become the standard IM management,
control and regulatory compliance solution; and together with our
other partner solutions from Microsoft and KVS, we can now offer
our customers a complete IM workflow solution for both wireless and
wireline IM communications." The FaceTime IMAuditor server solution
is installed behind corporate firewalls and features IT
administrative controls that extend the IM networks -- both private
and public -- and enables customers to control access, manage and
interoperate with all IM networks with such features as capturing,
recording, and reporting conversations on multiple IM networks and
devices wired or wireless for use within the enterprise. On-line
identity management and IM screen name mapping to enterprise
directories enable organizations to authorize employees to continue
using the popular public instant messaging networks, such as AOL,
Microsoft and Yahoo!, for real-time communications, while ensuring
administrative controls are in place for customers that need to
comply with government and industry regulations. "FaceTime believes
in tiered distribution with proven leaders. We are delighted that
such a successful technology reseller as NuTech will resell our
industry-leading solution to its customers," said Glen Vondrick,
president and CEO of FaceTime. "Our vision of extending the global
public IM networks as enterprise quality solutions has transformed
this industry. Until now, the increasing proliferation of wireless
devices and wireless instant messaging communication has been
outside the scope for most enterprises to manage, log and audit.
FaceTime has a long history of industry 'firsts,' and our
announcement today with the immediate availability of support for
secure, mobile-to-mobile wireless IM communications builds on this
momentum. NuTech's leadership in reselling wireless devices makes
them a natural choice for reselling FaceTime's award-winning IM
solutions."
