Regulatory Requirements
FaceTime offers a comprehensive suite of solutions that address the challenge of meeting instant messaging
regulatory requirements and the security and management of peer-to-peer file sharing, social networking
other real-time communications and Web 2.0 applications for a variety of industries. Our solutions enable
businesses to simultaneously meet strict IM, Unified Communications and emerging Social Networks compliance guidelines, secure
application behavior on the network, and manage user policy all while benefiting from the efficiencies
of a real-time business.
Government regulators are taking the issue of compliance more seriously then ever before, imposing harsh
penalties on those that don't comply - from litigation and massive fines, to in some cases, imprisonment.
Read about the myriad of state and federal regulations imposed by the SEC, NASD, NYSE, FDIC, FCC, FERC,
HIPAA, MiFID, as well as independent regulating bodies like FINRA and learn how FaceTime solutions help
companies ensure compliance for public instant messaging, social networking, and unified communications
platforms such as Microsoft Office Communications Server and Lotus Sametime in collaborative, highly-regulated
environments.
