I very well see the benefit of IM and am suprised it hasn't taken off at corporations more. It saves time and money. With the proper software in place it is very easy to prevent #2 and #3 from happening. If you are really concerned about this then look at the IMLogic / KVS solution.

I really don't want to have our users have access to this as I see it as a potential waste of time. Of course that's my opinion. And why I turn to those that know more than I. I've offered him the thoughts I have on it: 1) no way to backup/restore IM, 2) creates an "easy" place to have our corp. policies broken (slander, gossip, sharing porn sites, etc) 3)no way to track who said what and when 4) waste of time (OK that's not technical, but still....) His come back? "But I read its easy to install and configure and takes no bandwidth". Can this list offer me any other sane reasons not to implement this (or if you have a good reason to then let me know that too :) Thanks Mark Nold _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
