Jabber, Inc. to
Participate in ``Wall Street Meets Technology'' Forum; Frank Cardello, VP
Of Business Development, Joins Panelists To Discuss the Growing Use of
Instant Messaging in the Financial Services Industry
DENVER--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Aug. 20, 2003--Jabber, Inc., the leading developer of open
architecture for enterprise- and carrier-class presence-enabled
communications, including instant messaging (IM), today announced that
Frank Cardello, VP of business development for Jabber, Inc., is scheduled
to participate in the "Wall Street Meets Technology" forum on August 27,
2003, beginning at 9:45 A.M. in the Bryant Park Hotel Digital Theatre
located at 40 W. 40th Street in New York City.
Cardello will join speakers David Gurle, EVP Collaboration Services of
Reuters, and Graham Lawlor, Deutsche Bank & Co and Chairman of the
Financial Services Instant Messaging Association (FIMA), in a panel
discussion entitled, "To Message or Not To Message: The State of Instant
Messaging in the Financial Services Industry." The discussion will be
moderated by Mr. Alan Brody, President and CEO of
TECHmarketing/Ibreakfast.
According to the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD),
member financial services firms that permit instant messaging must use a
platform that enables the member to monitor, archive, and retrieve message
traffic. Members must similarly ensure that their use of instant messaging
is consistent with their basic supervisory and recordkeeping obligations.
Jabber, Inc. maintains that its platform is extensible and flexible,
capable of creating an NASD-compliant environment either out-of-the-box or
in conjunction with a company's existing investment(s) in third-party
products or services.
Cardello is expected to describe how leading financial services firms
are deploying Jabber, Inc.'s eXtensible Communications Platform (XCP) to
secure real-time communications between groups and individuals.
Due to limited available seating, forum guests must pre-register to
attend by calling 530-325-4125.
