Founded
in November 2000, Cordant is developing enterprise
Instant Messaging technologies. The Cordant Enterprise
Server will serve as the core technology for a number
of future products that Cordant is designing to
help enterprises utilize Instant Messaging, particularly
in regards to customer communications. The company
is currently self-funded, with backing coming from
its founders; however, Cordant has just started
pursuing a Series A VC round. The company currently
has 19 employees, 7 in the U.S. and 12 in an office
in India.
The first product to be unveiled as part of the
platform, IMScribe®*, was released in November
2001. Targeted specifically at Microsoft Exchange
users, Cordant says that IMScribe® moves IM
from the consumer to business realm. According to
Cordant, logging IM content has emerged as a business
need and also as a regulatory requirement across
several industries. IMScribe® is designed to
meet business and regulatory needs of large enterprises,
particularly in financial services, where the SEC
requires brokerage firms to retain customer communications
for six years. IMScribe® enables enterprises
meet these requirements by enabling the archiving,
retrieving, and monitoring of all IM.

*IMScribe®:
Enterprise Class Compliance and Administration for
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Instant Messaging:
For enterprises looking to deploy Exchange 2000
Instant Messaging, a comprehensive archiving solution
is an essential prerequisite, but Exchange 2000
IM lacks content logging functionality "out-of-the-box".
Accordingly, Cordant has first productized its Archiving
component, IMScribe®. IMScribe® not only
meets for Exchange 2000 IM compliance requirements
but also is encompassing logging, archiving, reviewing,
reporting, etc. and is highly scalable and suitable
for the demanding 24X7 environments typical of large
enterprises. It was released only after incorporating
feedback from extensive Beta testing at over ten
Fortune 500 enterprises.
