CIO Rates FaceTime a "Rising Star" in New Zealand's Strategic 100

BELMONT, Calif. - November 11, 2008 - FaceTime Communications announced today that CIO New Zealand, the only business publication dedicated to the unique information needs of CIOs in New Zealand has placed FaceTime in this year's Strategic 100 ICT vendors. Listed in the Rising Stars category, CIO noted that FaceTime is – "is riding a second technology tsunami — providing security for users of Facebook and similar social networking sites."

Compiled by an expert panel of judges from throughout the APAC region and by CIO's editorial teams internationally, "Rising Stars" recognises companies that are influencing technology choices and have already caught the eye of savvy CIOs.

CIO noted in its write-up that FaceTime is "…the first company to provide security for unified communications solutions like Microsoft's Office Communication Server and IBM's Lotus Sametime," and recognised that its products which secure, control and manage instant messaging, web conferencing and P2P file sharing, provide "an electronic paper trail to monitor IM conversations that might otherwise be difficult to recover."

"Deployment of unified communication tools has risen significantly in 2008 as companies look to take advantage of the productivity and cost benefits it brings," says Deric Moilliet, Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand. "As organisations become more aware that both enterprise and consumer based solutions do not natively provide the required the security, policy control and compliance to ensure best practice, so the interest in FaceTime's products has grown, as the inclusion of FaceTime in CIO's Rising Stars confirms."

FaceTime is represented in New Zealand by GrailNZ – distributor of messaging security solutions. www.grailnz.co.nz.
