FOSTER CITY, Calif., April 22, 2003 -- FaceTime Communications,
the premier provider of security and management solutions for
instant messaging (IM) in the enterprise, and SJ Technologies
(SJT), a leader in enterprise data integration and compliance
solutions, today announced a unique strategic alliance that offers
fully integrated IM solutions to clients, specifically financial
organizations that are regulated by SEC rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 and
NASD 3110 and 3010, and Healthcare providers governed by the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This
partnership, coupled with SJT and FaceTime's existing strategic
partnership with LEGATO Systems, Inc., the pre-eminent developer of
worldwide Email compliance solutions, provides clients with a total
solution for the security, management and control of all IM and
Email communications in the enterprise.
It is widely held by industry analysts that IM will surpass Email
as the preferred method of interpersonal messaging in the
enterprise by 2006. Businesses using this technology for internal
and external communications must ensure that their network and
information security risks are properly managed. FaceTime's
award-winning IMAuditor Enterprise(TM) solution is uniquely
positioned to meet the growing needs of securing and managing IM in
the enterprise. IMAuditor Enterprise is an application that sits
behind a company's corporate firewall and enables IT organizations
to apply standard business use policies to all IM communications
through detection, controls and administration. These policies help
manage the risk associated with external employee communications
and greatly reduce the risk of inadvertent intellectual property
leaks outside the company while providing government regulated
firms with regulatory compliance workflow features.
SJT's robust and compliant enterprise solutions are
technologically advanced and procedurally coordinated with each
client's enterprise IM, Email and HIPAA applications needs. Custom
solutions provide integrated communications with seamless
technology architecture, including FaceTime's IMAuditor Enterprise
and LEGATO EmailXtender(R), the industry leading, policy-based
system that automatically collects, organizes, retains and
retrieves Email messages/attachments. Each customized solution
reduces information security risks by extending complete and
centralized management, control, logging and archiving capabilities
to these business-critical platforms.
The development offerings by SJT bring highly specialized design
and deployment of IM and Email, in accordance with regulatory
agencies including the SEC, NASD and HIPAA. Clients receive support
throughout the development process, enabling them to accurately
review and define their business rules and objectives. This process
drives the actual guidelines for converting the unique business
rules into FaceTime's IMAuditor Enterprise and LEGATO EmailXtender.
SJT consults each client on the appropriate path to take, engineers
the system, and provides the technology for achievement.
"SJT looks forward to developing this unique strategic alliance
with FaceTime in many diverse markets," states Ian Singer,
President and CEO of SJ Technologies. "The robust and scalable
FaceTime technology, in combination with LEGATO's EmailXtender and
EmailXaminer(TM) solutions, provides the broadest enterprise
messaging platform in the industry."
"We are excited that SJT has chosen FaceTime as their instant
messaging partner," said Sherry Walden, VP Strategic Accounts and
Alliances, FaceTime. "SJT's experience implementing LEGATO's
EmailXtender for Healthcare and other government regulated
industries coupled with FaceTime's leadership delivering enterprise
instant messaging solutions, offers clients a convenient package
for the security, management and control of all Email and IM
communications in the enterprise."
