Thursday, June 19, 2003IM and Legal Archive Trends
 Recent legislation, in the USA at least, would indicate that the need to archive ALL messaging content for extended periods may have to become commonplace over the next few ....well NOW! For example the NASD recently told all its members, and that means all US securities firms, that it must keep Instant Messaging logs for three years, i.e. treat it the same as email. The assured centralised policy enforcement issue also came up at the same time, which means companies can not just rely upon the individual user to set the standards or to make decisions as to what gets archived. This is critical as most IM systems don't allow for centralised control, they are seen as consumer/individual tools, and many of the email archiving solutions in the market today rely on the use of email-client plug-ins. e.g.KVS's KVault. This must bee seen to be a serious flaw in their offerings.
