FaceTime Provides Reuters Messaging Import for SEC, FSA Compliance
IMAuditor Eases Compliance Burden for Financial Services Organizations
BELMONT, Calif - August 25, 2009 - FaceTime Communications announced
today the availability to import Reuters Messaging communications alongside
instant messages (IM) from public, enterprise and other financial IM networks
to manage and archive all conversations into a single location. The new
capabilities added to IMAuditor, FaceTime's security and compliance software,
will allow financial services organizations to meet the stringent compliance
requirements for the retention of IMs as set out by regulatory bodies such as
the SEC, NYSE and the Financial Services Authority (UK).
Reuters Messaging is widely used by financial institutions to communicate
throughout the course of their business. With IMAuditor, FaceTime clients
utilizing Reuters Messaging, are now able to combine the logging, archiving and
easy retrieval of these messages, with that of public and enterprise messaging
and other real-time communications. In addition, IMAuditor also supports the
export of Reuters Messaging conversations to customers' existing
email-archiving platforms for a single point of compliance and e-discovery
"With the acceptance and growth of IM, Web 2.0 applications and social
networking sites in the workplace, real-time communication tools are rarely
used in isolation. This development meets the growing regulatory requirements
of the financial services sector and helps to ease the burden of compliance,"
comments Brian Babin, director of product management for FaceTime
Communications.
This new capability is available within 30 days to all FaceTime IMAuditor
customers and supports all current versions of Reuters Messaging.
