Organizations are implementing enterprise IM systems like Microsoft Office Live Communications Server for increased business productivity, cost savings and improved communication and collaboration among people, partners and suppliers. And due to the interconnectivity between Live Communications Server and public IM clients, adoption is taking off.
But interaction between enterprise and public IM clients opens the door for increased security risk. The potential for malware on the network, loss of confidential and proprietary information, and non-compliance with corporate, regulatory, and eDiscovery policies is higher than ever before.
With Microsoft and FaceTime you can reap the benefits of integrated communication and collaboration without compromising security.
