IM Survey and curiosity
Tags :General
I was reading an article about the choice
of the IBB
(International Broadcasting Bureau that handle things like Voice of America
and Radio Free Asia broadcasts) and their recent need to restrict consumer
IM access and move to a standard. They found that after turning off
access to the consumer IM that employees, well they basically threw a fit.
So the IBB went and looked at enterprise
grade IM. After much soul searching they chose Bantu's Enterprise
Instant Messaging (according
to the article due to their 'experience'
with government like the Army and Navy. I thought they used Sametime
but that is another topic). Now the next step was decide if the server
should be internal or hosted. They chose hosted from Bantu.
So that brings me to the point, I read
the Osterman Research reports and participate in them constantly. But
I wanted a mini-survey on just us Domino geeks (and the few others that
read my blog). So....post your replies and I will group the results.
- Have you standardized on an IM package?
- Is the package run in house or hosted?
- Do you allow consumer products on the network still?
- Do you filter the consumer IM products in any way?
- Do you log or archive any chat communications?
