East Northport, NY (PRWEB) April 17, 2008 -- Increased corporate adoption of instant messaging technology has required robust tools to enable IT professionals to ensure proper access and control. To provide IT professionals with the tools they need to better manage and archive unstructured data, Forensic and Compliance Systems (www.cryoserver.com), the world's only forensic grade compliant message archiving solution, today announced a strategic partnership with FaceTime Communications, the leader in security, compliance and management for the new Internet,, By employing FaceTime's IMAuditor together with Forensic and Compliance Systems' Cryoserver Compliant Messaging Archive Appliance, business customers now have a comprehensive, scalable solution for secure and compliance archival of enterprise communications including unstructured data such as instant messages.
"This partnership brings an integrated IMAuditor and Cryoserver offering that will empower enterprise IT managers with an increased ability to meet message compliance requirements and greater capabilities to perform eDiscovery of all messages with rapid searching of IM traffic from the Cryoserver archive," said Forensic and Compliance Systems CEO Ralph Harvey.
"FCS and FaceTime are committed to provide the tools to ensure that enterprise messaging complies with regulatory, legal and e-discovery requirements in order to protect our customers against business risk," said Nick Sears as VP for Europe, the Middle East and Africa for FaceTime. "With our combined products, mutual customers gain a secure and compliant infrastructure for their enterprise messaging applications."
The use of greynet applications such as instant messaging is widespread. Greynets are real-time communications applications that are often introduced by individual end users and use highly evasive techniques to traverse the network. Nearly 100 percent of respondents to a recent survey of IT managers conducted by NewDiligence, an independent market research company on behalf of FaceTime, report at least one greynet application in use. The same study reports that 85 percent of employees say they use their work computers for "personal, non-work purposes," and among these employees, 38 percent send personal IMs or engage in chat while at work.
The combination of IMAuditor with the Cryoserver Compliance Messaging Archive Appliance provides customers a total business communication archive strategy that also safeguards against risks associated with government regulation non-compliance, the costs associated with eDiscovery, and increased exposure to security breaches over IM networks.
Combining IMAuditor with Cryoserver leverages the capabilities of Cryoserver Enterprise Email Compliance platform and the multi functional abilities of the FaceTime Instant Messaging architecture. Enterprises will now have the ability to provide compliant messaging archives for:
• Email Platforms: Microsoft Exchange, Novell Groupwise, IBM Lotus Domino, Sun One, Scalix and most Linux services
• Public IM Networks: Skype, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ, and more
• Enterprise IM Networks: OCS, LCS, Sametime, Jabber, Parlano MindAlign
• Professional Community Networks: Reuters, Bloomberg, Communicator Inc., PivotSolutions
"The growing demand for comprehensive enterprise messaging compliance enables this joint offering to provide a central storage and retrieval for all email and IM messaging. The Cryoserver permanent Litigation Hold approach ensures all data into the archive is secured for future use," said Forensic and Compliance Systems COO Paul Stubbs.
Cryoserver is a forensic email compliance solution (http://www.cryoserver.com/compliance/index.aspx)that meets the data protection and privacy requirements of a wide range of organizations in industries including legal, finance and education, as well as government agencies. The Cryoserver email compliance archive solution is a tamper-evident, sealed appliance that is easy to implement and manage. Traditional email archiving solutions allow organizations to store data, but their lack of forensic capabilities prevents from being used in a court environment as admissible evidence. Cryoserver is the first email archiving product that successfully addresses this issue as it was built from the ground up to merge email archiving, compliance and forensic capabilities.

Web Design And Navigation.
As people "browse" the Web, they "land" on a page and "navigate" on a website. To find their way around they need a "navigation" system. Navigation is as important for web design as for a real life drive: when you drive on a new road you want to see clear marked destinations, exits and parking lots. You want to know where you are and where you go. So do your visitors. Fail to provide a clear road map and they will go back to where they came from. Navigation should be clear and simple. Or better: standard. That means: don't go around renaming buttons. Use "home" for your index; not "back to base". Although this "back to base" is rather clear, not all the web users are in the mood for riddles, nor do they have the time to start learning ...
