FaceTime and Mimosa Joining Forces

To create solutions for secure and compliant archival of enterprise communications

FaceTime Communications, the leading provider of solutions that control greynets and manage Unified Communications in the enterprise and Mimosa Systems, the leader in Live Content Archiving solutions, today announced that the two industry leaders have partnered to create comprehensive, scalable solutions for secure and compliant archival of enterprise communications. The combined solution will deliver comprehensive business communications archival for business critical documents, email, calendar and contact items, public IM networks, enterprise IM networks, professional community networks, and Web conferencing.

In recent years, businesses have seen rapid growth in the use of Instant Messaging (IM) as a business communications tool, second only to email. According to a recent report from Osterman Research, Presence, IM and Real Time Communication Trends, 2007-2010 , 44 percent of workplace email users also used IM in 2006. This figure grew to 60 percent in 2007 and is estimated to reach 93 percent by 2009. This trend has driven the need for organizations to incorporate IM—and greynet applications—into an overarching message-capture and retrieval strategy, in order to meet regulatory compliance and litigation requirements. In a number of industries, including financial services, government regulations now mandate long-term archival of IM data. In addition, Osterman predicts the number of IM users required to archive communications messages will increase by 36 percent in 2008.

The joint FaceTime and Mimosa offering combines best-in-class technologies to create a powerful solution that raises the bar for comprehensive communications archiving. Mimosa Systems’ NearPoint delivers information archiving, eDiscovery, continuous data protection and disaster recovery in a single, integrated platform. Coupled with FaceTime Communications’ industry-leading security products for the management and control of greynet applications, it gives customers a total business communication archive strategy that also safeguards against risks associated with government regulation non-compliance, the costs associated with eDiscovery, and increased exposure to security breaches over IM networks.

"Microsoft is extremely pleased with and supportive of the partnership between Mimosa Systems and FaceTime Communications," said Greg Urquhart, Microsoft General Manager for US ISV and National SI Partners. "As Microsoft Managed Gold Certified ISV partners, they bring together leading expertise in Microsoft Exchange and Office Communications Server, to deliver a secure and compliant solution for the archival and discovery of business critical communications for our mutual customers.

Mimosa Systems and FaceTime are committed to protecting our customers against business risk, ensuring that all electronic records comply with a broad range of regulatory, legal and e-discovery requirements,” said Frank Cabri, vice president of marketing and product management for FaceTime. “By combining our products, mutual customers are assured a secure and compliant infrastructure for Microsoft Unified Communications and messaging applications.”

"Today’s demand for enterprises to archive a wide range of electronic documents for litigation discovery and regulatory compliance is driving the need to centralize the archive and management of these documents,” noted Sanjay Mehta, vice president of engineering and chief architect of Mimosa Systems. “FaceTime IMAuditor’s ability to secure and capture IM data, together with Mimosa NearPoint’s scalable architecture and rich eDiscovery Option, offer an ideal solution for reducing business risk associated with IM, email, unified communications, and other electronic documents."
