Capture, manage the lifecycle and streamline discovery processes for instant messaging communications within your organization
Instant messaging has become a formal mode of business communication in many companies today. Like email, IM correspondences often describe corporate plans, intentions, and knowledge, and accordingly, can constitute business records. As such, instant messages can be subject to regulatory audit or legal discovery, and if mismanaged, can put organizations are considerable business risk.
Organizations need a secure means of capturing, monitoring, retaining, and destroying the IM communications within the enterprise. They also need a means of centrally controlling network applications like IM, to ensure that usage remains in accordance with corporate policy.
Together, OpenText and Actiance extend the industry standard in IM security, management, and compliance into the ECM environment. By combining the strengths of OpenText and Actiance, organizations can bring to instant messaging the same compliance and legal driven controls that companies apply to other corporate records—meaning that IM communications are now securely and consistently captured into the corporate compliance program and managed according to centralized policies.
