If you need an INTERNAL ONLY IM product that also runs on Citrix and is
fairly inexpensive check out WMSoftware's WMSMessenger product.

We have been using internally for several years. They have a demo
available. Easy to set up and all you need.
Great stuff!
This should at least eliminate some of your security concerns.

Those are all good reasons, I agree. But Nick must have different reasons,
because otherwise he would be able to articualte these to the users and to
management.
"Wasted time", though, is kind of a subjective one. There are legitimate
business uses for IM, just like for a telephone.

Employee time wasted, virus, spam, wasted bandwidth, etc. Yes some people
are trying to spam instant messengers now days.

I have a growing number of people in my organization that are using Yahoo
Instant Messenger. I don't want them to use it but I can't give them a
reason not to. Can anyone tell me any reasons NOT to use Yahoo Instant
Messenger so I can validate taking it away?
