On the flip side, we encourage IM and I’ve heard nothing but praises since we implemented it. For now we’re using Live Messenger but I am looking at an internal solution. I believe it helps us communicate more efficiently.

I shut down all IM.  Most folks had no complaints because they were bugged by the barrage of IM traffic.  Now everyone use email or the phone.  Now if I could only get rid of texting.

	I have a key user that wants to implement IM.  However, I don’t want to bring in a “free” service because of what I think is the security risk.  Am I justified in my security concern?  I was thinking the best way is to implement something internal to my LAN.  What do you all think?
