Instant messaging (IM) is more useful in the corporate world than you might imagine. To make the most of it, make effective use of collaboration software as one entity, seamlessly using email, IM, voice over IP (VoIP) and discussion groups within a single environment.

And finally, manage IM services the way you would manage any other applications, with archiving, authorization, compliance, content inspection, integration capabilities, manageability and security.
