FOSTER CITY, Calif., October 6, 2003 --
Furthering its leadership as the premier provider of security,
management and control solutions for instant messaging (IM) and
other forms of real-time communications in the enterprise, FaceTime
Communications today announced that NCR Corporation, a leading
worldwide technology company, has chosen FaceTime's IM Director for
managing and securing the use of instant messaging within the
company. IM Director's enterprise-class security, management and
control features give NCR the ability to leverage the power of
instant messaging for time-sensitive business communications, while
ensuring administrative controls are in place for securing the
content of messages between employees and protecting the company
network from virus attacks. As a result, NCR can manage IM
communications tightly integrated with their current
enterprise-based directory services.
"After conducting evaluations of multiple vendor solutions, we
selected FaceTime because of their market leadership and
flexibility to manage thousands of users on all the networks in use
by our employees," said Maury Rindler, collaboration services
program director for NCR. "FaceTime's software gives us the needed
security and control while helping us manage how we use the public
IM networks for communications with business partners outside of
NCR's network."
"NCR joins a growing list of non-regulated customers using
FaceTime's software to manage instant messaging in the workplace,"
said Glen D. Vondrick, FaceTime's president and CEO. "This latest
customer win is a testament to FaceTime's proven experience in
providing the security, management and control necessary for
businesses to safely leverage the benefits of multi-network
messaging."
IM Director, a highly flexible and scalable next generation server
serves as the cornerstone of FaceTime's enterprise IM management
suite of security, management and control solutions for real-time
communications in the enterprise. With IM Director, IT executives
can take a phased approach to the controlled adoption of IM,
managing new and emerging usage challenges, including virus attacks
and inadvertent dissemination of proprietary company information in
a highly scalable, customizable and cost-effective fashion. IM
Director offers NCR and other businesses the opportunity to meet
the most common requirements for safely securing, managing and
deploying instant messaging in the enterprise.
