FOSTER CITY, CALIF - July 19, 2005 -
Strengthening its leadership as the premier solutions provider to
secure the uncontrolled use of instant messaging (IM), peer-to-peer
(P2P) and spyware applications in the enterprise, FaceTime today
announced that SunTrust Robinson Humphrey is the latest major
capital markets firm to select FaceTime IMAuditor™ to ensure full
regulatory compliance for its AIM - public IM communications.
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, a division of SunTrust Capital Markets,
Inc., is the largest and most active NASDAQ market-maker of any
firm headquartered in the Southeast. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey was
ahead of the curve when they determined over two years ago that the
ability to manage IM messages as business records was critical to
any successful compliance program. The firm's addition of IMAuditor
to its messaging archival platform is another important step in the
evolution of this rapidly changing technology. "It has become
standard for our traders and institutional sales personnel to
communicate in a timely manner with clients over IM. Not only do we
understand the business efficiencies achieved with the use of IM,
we equally understand the risks associated with its unmanaged use,"
said Pam Kilday, Chief Information Officer. "The strict logging
capabilities employed by FaceTime are the only way to guarantee
that every message is logged precisely as the conversation took
place. This is imperative for compliance regulations and good
business practice." IMAuditor is the only compliance solution that
stores messages in binary code format instead of plain text
allowing for archived messages to show statements written in their
exact context (e.g. use of boldface or flashing words for emphasis
of a particular word or phrase). Thus, it is the only gateway
solution to deliver true regulatory compliance. It is one of the
reasons the company has already established itself as the leader in
financial services counting seven of the 10 largest banks, four of
the five largest Canadian banks and half of the world's largest
financial services firms in its customer base. "Regional
institutional sell-side firms may have a smaller numbers of
employees using IM than the worldwide financial services
conglomerates, but the penalties they can incur for non-compliance
are equally as severe," said Kailash Ambwani, President and CEO,
FaceTime Communications. "FaceTime has tried-and-true methods for
providing IM compliance to firms that have been proven over a
longer period of time than any other set of competing products in
the marketplace. We are happy to lend that experience to firms like
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey."
