Tracking BlackBerry text messages
The need to store emails, instant messages and other forms of corporate communication has been acute over the last year or so, creating all sorts of work for compliance and IT managers. What to do about messages and calls to or from BlackBerries? The BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) logs data about text messages and emails sent and received. However, according to CIO, administrators and others have to view the data in an ungainly spreadsheet. So we'll likely see some innovation in this area. India-based developer Gwava has launched a product to shift all that data to a SQL database, where it can then be viewed and used much easier. Emails, text messages and call data can be seen together.

I'm surprised there aren't more comments here. Does anyone know of any companies that have been audited, fined, or otherwise chastised for lacking archives of their employees' BlackBerry SMS and PIN-to-PIN text messages? There are thousands of broker-dealers, equities firms, energy trading firms, commodities firms in the U.S. After FINRA's clarification in Regulatory Notice 07-59 ("electronic messaging includes text messages), which came months after "fair warning" in the FINRA request for comment on electronic message archiving, has any regulatory agency taken action to audit any firms operating under FINRA governance?
