Craig we use Openfire
[http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/index.jsp] for our chat
server and Exodus  [ http://www.avvanta.com/ExodusSetup] for our
internal instant messaging client, there is a add-on to the server that
captures the chats and will store them if you need to archive them for
compliancy or discovery purposes. We don't allow chat clients with
outside capability, the same with the use of personal webmail inside the
office to mitigate data leakage & liability issues not to mention
limiting exposure to malware / viruses from that attack vector.

Question regarding the use of Instant Messaging applications like
Microsoft Live Communicator.  Do you allow IM within your organization
(internal) and if so, how are you addressing any "public record" issues?
For example, do you capture IM traffic and back it up?  Or is it treated
more like a phone conversation?  Thanks in advance.
