Download this white paper to read about the third phase of IMlogic's four-phased approach to bringing instant messaging (IM) under corporate control: establishing an effective IM usage policy. An effective IM policy can significantly improve your company's risk profile, so it's vital that you develop one as soon as possible if you haven't already done so. This paper lists 16 components that are typically included in enterprise IM guidelines, and explains how you can effectively implement and enforce an IM usage policy of your own.
Check out all the papers in this four-part series:
- Phase 1: Assessing IM Usage
- Phase 2: Protecting Against IM Threats
- Phase 3: Establishing an Effective IM Usage Policy
- Phase 4: A Strategic Plan for Broad Adoption of Real-Time Collaboration
