Hello All, Alliance Corporate is installing an IM (instant messaging) system. We will use a private provider. It allows for realtime one-to-one chat between all employees. You are required to use this system for inter-office communication. If you are with a client, set your status as busy. At all other oth er tim times es you must set your status stat us to
available. The program will import your screen name and contact list from your e-mail account. File transfer will still be conducted through e-mail. This system is only to be used between Alliance Corporation employees. It is intended for business use only. Sincerely, Annie Clark C.E.O.
