This Interoperability is not true! its a frigging hoax! Until now, there’s no news that this one works! Bunch of losers!

@Ryan – I’m sorry, I’m not too familiar with the enterprise IM world. We do offer archiving in Yahoo! Messenger. So as long as those log files are getting backed up, would that suffice? It is a preference so archiving is something that an employee could turn off however. As for preventing file transfers in Yahoo! Messenger, that is not possible.

Hi Sarah, Thanks for the response. Do you have a version of the client that is geared toward a corporate environment? We have a couple users to have some new clients that insist on talking over yahoo messenger. However, we have compliance requirements that require all electronic communication in the company to be logged. We want to prevent file transfers, and keep permanent Logs of the chat covnersations. Our users also login to Terminal servers. This might be the wrong place to ask about this, but I cant find anywhere else that is talking about this.

@Ryan – Sorry, at this time we do not have an interoperability relationship with Adobe or Antepo. Thanks,

We are using a product that Adobe bought called Antepo. Is there a way for us to link our Enterprise IM system to Yahoo, so that our employees can chat with Yahoo customers?

Hi Sunny, Lee and atalanta_63,

Sorry you’re having trouble adding a friend. One thing to note: It is entirely up to the Sametime deployment administrator if they want to enable Y! interoperability for their employees. Some companies may choose to not enable this feature which means the Sametime friends you’re trying to add may not make it possible. If the functionality does not work for a user, that user should contact their company’s IT group and ask them to enable Y! / Sametime interop.

Hope that helps,

Sarah Bacon
