Business Wire, Jan 11, 2005

WALTHAM, Mass. -- IM Manager 6.0 Chosen from Products Reviewed in 2004 as Best IM Management Solution in 'Team Collaboration' Category

Based on a score of 8.8 and a rating of "Excellent," IMlogic's IM Manager(TM) 6.0 has been named an InfoWorld 2005 Technology of the Year award winner and Best IM Management Solution in the team collaboration category by InfoWorld magazine, one of the technology industry's most widely read publications. Enterprise use of instant messaging is growing exponentially, making its secure management a priority for business. The InfoWorld award underscores IMlogic's leadership.

IMlogic's IM Manager 6.0 provides all the tools businesses need to fully realize the benefits of IM while minimizing the risks and challenges associated with this form of communication. With more than 500,000 licensed seats, IM Manager meets the most rigorous IT requirements of the Fortune 1000 across the finance, energy, healthcare, technology, government and manufacturing sectors, bringing centralized control, reporting, and security to traditionally unmonitored and uncontrolled enterprise IM usage.

InfoWorld, an IDG publication, reviewed IM Manager 6.0 and other IM management solutions earlier in 2004 and ranked it far ahead of the competition, awarding IMlogic an overall score of 8.8 out of a possible 10 garnering the only "Excellent" rating in the comparative review.

IMlogic's IM Manager 6.0 "stands out with excellent usability, very flexible policy management, and scalability," wrote Mike Heck, an editor for the InfoWorld Test Center in the August 23, 2004 article. The product "brings critical control, security, reporting, and compliance to all types of IM. A single console allows IT administrators to perform policy and user management. There's optimal security, including the ability to authenticate users, trap viruses, and capture messages. Finally, the architecture of IM Manager 6.0 is fault tolerant."
