The guidelines, Avoiding an Instant Messaging Nightmare, IM
Policy Best Practices and Bulletproofing Your Office E-mail,
E-mail Policy Best Practices, were designed to help
organizations develop and implement effective workplace e-mail
and instant messaging policies to create electronic
communications that are less likely to trigger a workplace
lawsuit, regulatory investigation or security breach and to
compliment the implementation of Stellar Technologies'
employee Internet management solutions.

Stellar Technologies' suite of employee Internet management
solutions provide monitoring, blocking, reporting and
archiving of e-mail, instant messaging and Web surfing for
business and government organizations worldwide. Stellar's
solutions enable organizations to effectively enforce their
Internet usage policies to increase employee productivity,
heighten litigation control and maintain compliance with
industry regulations, including those imposed by the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act, Patriot Act, HIPPA and various rules of the NASD
and SEC, by immediately retrieving associated data for all
Internet activities.

The ePolicy Institute/Stellar Technologies e-mail and instant
messaging best practices guidelines are based on material
excerpted from author Nancy Flynn's books: Instant Messaging
Rules (Amacom 2004) and E-Mail Rules (Amacom 2003). Nancy
Flynn is the Executive Director of The ePolicy Institute, a
Columbus, Ohio-based organization dedicated to helping
