IMlogic Offers Compliance for Hedge Funds
In response to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's new regulations on hedge funds, IMlogic is offering a quick-start package to help hedge fund advisers comply with mandates to secure and save instant messaging communications. The IMlogic Quickstart Pack for Hedge Funds includes IM Manager, an enterprise-class IM management solution. IM Manager allows hedge fund firms to meet SEC compliance archiving and policy requirements for IM by providing tools to capture and review all IM traffic. These include the logging of IM conversations across public networks; the ability to create communication boundaries to enforce authorized-only communications; a message archive with employee data for enhanced search capability and reporting; a search and retrieval interface; and the ability to print e-mail compliance reports. IMlogic also partnered with consulting firms, including 17a-4 LLC and Integration Consulting Group, to help hedge fund firms with limited IT resources implement the Quickstart pack. Customers can also outsource their IM compliance requirements to IMlogic hosting provider partners, including Richard Fleischman & Associates Inc., RFA, Safecore and FivePoints Compliance, Inc.
