Enterprise Instant Messenger targets companies that use IM for collaboration, document sharing
MessageLabs launched on Monday encrypted IM (instant-message) software, targeting companies that use consumer IM clients for collaboration and document sharing.
The company's Enterprise Instant Messenger (EIM) is derived from MessageLabs' October acquisition of Omnipod, which focused on IM and file-transfer services, said David Hahn, group product manager.
The software addresses some of the concerns raised around increased use of IM in the enterprise, such as confidentiality, compliance and intellectual-property leaks.
