An eWeek article here, Guy Kewney writes...

IT managers should be aware: your duties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may not stop with the desktop Instant Messengers.

You're required to keep records of all employee transactions over any communication media. Instant Messenger is a problem; but you are probably on the case. Now: did you realise that IM can go out, undetected and unmonitored, over staff cellphones?

How many corporates monitor SMS traffic to and from employee cellphones? How many corporates actually realise that a cellphone is not merely a channel for "texting" but also, with Smartphones spreading rapidly, a vehicle for Internet based IM, and even picture messaging?

Discuss ;)

Actually, introducing such an application on a Smartphone should be pretty easy?
