Control Instant Messaging in Your Network
Network specialists have found that the challenges companies face in attempting to control instant messaging are similar to those related to email management. Public IM clients like AIM®, Yahoo!®, and MSN® Messenger are incredible real-time communication platforms for business environments, and the reality is that with Presensoft products, any company can safely control instant messaging without the risk and hassle associated with other messaging tools.
The ability to control messaging in general relies heavily on restricting certain types of traffic through the corporate network, and the same is true when you control instant messaging via Presensoft IM Policy Manager and IM Caller ID. For the first time, companies can safely enable their employees to use public IM clients, while maintaining a level of compliance and security that rivals the standards for email management.
Control Instant Messaging for Unified Communications
Certainly, unified communications platforms like Microsoft OCS™ and Lotus Sametime® provide tremendous collaboration value within your network, but when it comes to external communications with business partners and customers, the potential for real-time IM communication is limited. For example, if your customers use Sametime®, and your company uses Microsoft OCS™, you cannot securely communicate with them.
That’s why the ability to control instant messaging for public clients is so important – anyone can download AIM®, Yahoo!® or MSN® Messenger, and securely communicate with your employees, thanks to Presensoft IM Policy Manager and IM Caller ID. Adding these universal IM clients to your unified communications program with Presensoft will allow you to control instant messaging in every corner of your business.
