Instant messages are covered by the same compliance and legal discovery requirements as email. When that urgent legal request comes in or an investigation starts, it is your obligation to retrieve entire conversations – not just a collection of messages – with all of the information including all text formatting, emoticons, graphics and explicit file transfers. Sametime archiving ensures that this obligation can be met.
The complexity of Sametime archiving requires an enterprise-grade archiving application like Permessa IM Archiver. Permessa IM Archiver is a native Lotus Sametime application that captures all Sametime messages, including both 2-way and n-way chats, in full fidelity and messages to public IM services (Google, Yahoo!, AOL) via the Sametime Gateway. Permessa IM Archiver for Lotus Sametime provides full support to attain SEC 17a-4 and NASD 3010 compliance.
