ChatBlazer Helps Companies Meet New Mandatory Government Compliance Requirements

Industry leading chat and instant messaging application for businesses existing features comply with new government regulations regarding the archiving of chat conversations and instant messages. The development of e-mail archiving is underway.


Winston-Salem, NC December 18, 2006 -- Friday, December 1, 2006, a story hit news stations nationwide that would change businesses forever. The U.S. Supreme Court administration approved rules that would require businesses to track e-mails, instant messages (IMs), and other electronic communications and store that data for use in litigation that affects the business. Many businesses will now have to deal with the stress of finding software solutions that comply with these new rules. Fortunately, ChatBlazer was well prepared for this kind of news.

ChatBlazer, a division of SolidSpace, a leading provider of dynamic hosting infrastructure and developer of intuitive web-based collaborative technologies, includes an Audit Trail IM tracking feature in its ChatBlazer EIM software. With this feature, all IMs are recorded and stored in a database for further retrieval and auditing. This service has already proven useful for businesses in a wide range of industries.

ChatBlazer EIM also comes with many other features designed with businesses in mind. With the Multi-user chat feature, companies can host internal corporate meetings, as well as client meetings over a secure IM network. Other features include: secure chat, compatibility with other popular IM services, and customization of the interface to meet the company brand.

"Meeting the proper auditing requirements is something that we focused on since the beginning of development of ChatBlazer," said Jim Capps, president and CEO of SolidSpace LLC. "With the new ruling for Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA compliance, having the Audit Trail capability has validated our foresight by meeting our customers needs with advanced technology before it was even necessary. We are pleased to not only be well prepared ourselves, but in that our customers can breathe easy knowing that they are already compliant."

SolidSpace is also currently developing a user-friendly e-mail archiving service. E-mail will be automatically archived and able to be recalled by administrators who can search by such parameters as date and time. Additionally, e-mails can be burned onto a DVD and kept for further archiving or given to clients. This e-mail archiving service will be available in the near future.
