INBOX: The Email Event, San Jose, Calif. - June 2, 2004 -
FaceTime Communications, the largest provider of solutions that
secure, manage, and extend instant messaging (IM) and other forms
of real-time communications in the enterprise, today announced that
it has extended the email management component of the FaceTime
Partner Program to include AXS-One's enterprise compliance platform
solutions; Orchestria's Active Policy Management Solution;
Singlecast's compliance management solutions; and ZANTAZ's
compliance, electronic discovery and email storage management
solutions. Together, FaceTime's IM security and compliance
solutions are integrated and field-tested with the offerings of
these and other existing email management partners-including
EMC/Centera, Entelagent, iLumin, Iron Mountain, KVS, and Tumbleweed
- to allow customers to choose a solution that best meets their
needs for security and regulatory compliance of all electronic
messaging in the enterprise. The Association for Information and
Image Management (AIIM) recently released, in partnership with the
Association of Records Managers and Administrators (ARMA), a survey
in which 47% of the participants admitted their companies did not
retain electronic communications such as email and IM in order to
meet such government and industry regulations as the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
in addition to those handed down by the Securities & Exchange
Commission (SEC), National Association of Securities Dealers
(NASD), New York Stock Exchange and Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC). FaceTime's email management partnerships provide
customers with the ability to quickly align their electronic
messaging with the latest regulations. "Despite statements from the
SEC, NASD, NYSE and other regulatory bodies, most businesses have
not yet installed solutions designed to properly supervise and
archive email and instant messaging," said FaceTime Senior Vice
President of Marketing and Business Development, Christopher S.
Dean. "FaceTime continues its commitment to teaming with the
world's most innovative technology leaders to make it easy for
today's enterprises to engage in the exchange of electronic
communications in a manner that is secure and compliant with the
latest government regulations." "We are pleased to formalize our
business relationship with FaceTime, who we consider a leading
provider of IM security and management solutions," stated Peter
Mojica, vice president, product marketing and management for
AXS-One. "AXS-One's Compliance Platform and FaceTime's IM security
and compliance solutions are quite complementary, and through this
partnership, we'll be able to work closer together to help our
mutual customers, particularly in the financial services industry,
meet their mounting IM and email archive challenges." "The array of
IM protocols managed by FaceTime, combined with the real-time
prevention capability of our Active Policy Management (APM)
solution is compelling to any corporation that needs to gain
real-time visibility and control of all electronic communications,"
said Pete Malcolm, CEO and founder, Orchestria. "APM already offers
unprecedented visibility of unstructured communications, including
email, the Web and some IM protocols. This partnership extends the
IM functionality of our product to cover new protocols including
certain public, private, enterprise and mobile networks." "Instant
messaging is quickly becoming a critical part of business
workflow," said Singlecast President Andrew Joiner. "Companies
realize that IM, in addition to email, is a medium by which
sensitive, potentially damaging information can be exchanged among
employees, partners or customers in real-time. This partnership
with FaceTime seamlessly extends our industry leading surveillance
and monitoring capabilities so that compliance professionals can
enforce consistent e-communication policies and review interactions
within the communication channels used by employees." "As the
leading provider of e-mail management solutions for compliance,
electronic discovery and storage management, ZANTAZ solutions help
clients protect their intellectual property, efficiently comply
with industry regulations, respond to urgent litigation, and reduce
email server load," said Kirk Deininger, VP of business development
for ZANTAZ. "Through partners such as FaceTime, our extensive
e-communications management expertise extends to the IM arena.
ZANTAZ delivers customer-driven solutions to a broad set of
vertical markets. These solutions enable companies to better manage
business risk, enhance user access to information and strengthen
legal and regulatory compliance." FaceTime's comprehensive
ecosystem of partners provides customers with the most complete,
seamlessly integrated solutions available for the security,
management and control of real-time messaging in the enterprise.
