Press Release
NCR Selects FaceTime for Managing and Securing Instant Messaging
Leading Technology Company Leverages Productivity of Multi-Network IM Systems
with FaceTime's IM Director Solution
FOSTER CITY, Calif., October 6, 2003 -- Furthering its leadership as the premier
provider of security, management and control solutions for instant messaging
(IM) and other forms of real-time communications in the enterprise, FaceTime
Communications today announced that NCR Corporation, a leading worldwide
technology company, has chosen FaceTime's IM Director for managing and securing
the use of instant messaging within the company. IM Director's enterprise-class
security, management and control features give NCR the ability to leverage the
power of instant messaging for time-sensitive business communications, while
ensuring administrative controls are in place for securing the content of
messages between employees and protecting the company network from virus
attacks. As a result, NCR can manage IM communications tightly integrated with
their current enterprise-based directory services.
"After conducting evaluations of multiple vendor solutions, we selected
FaceTime because of their market leadership and flexibility to manage thousands
of users on all the networks in use by our employees," said Maury Rindler,
collaboration services program director for NCR. "FaceTime's software gives us
the needed security and control while helping us manage how we use the public
IM networks for communications with business partners outside of NCR's
network."
"NCR joins a growing list of non-regulated customers using FaceTime's software
to manage instant messaging in the workplace," said Glen D. Vondrick,
FaceTime's president and CEO. "This latest customer win is a testament to
FaceTime's proven experience in providing the security, management and control
necessary for businesses to safely leverage the benefits of multi-network
messaging."
IM Director, a highly flexible and scalable next generation server serves as
the cornerstone of FaceTime's enterprise IM management suite of security,
management and control solutions for real-time communications in the
enterprise. With IM Director, IT executives can take a phased approach to the
controlled adoption of IM, managing new and emerging usage challenges,
including virus attacks and inadvertent dissemination of proprietary company
information in a highly scalable, customizable and cost-effective fashion. IM
Director offers NCR and other businesses the opportunity to meet the most
common requirements for safely securing, managing and deploying instant
messaging in the enterprise.
