TORRANCE, Calif., October 6, 2004 - LiveOffice (www.liveoffice.com), the developer of the AdvisorMail (www.advisormail.net) product line1, today confirmed that financial services organizations are racing to ensure strict compliance with NASD and SEC regulations for email and instant message (IM) communications. This finding is supported by the record high number of AdvisorMail deployments in August and September, coupled with this month's installation schedule, and indicates that the rush to meet email and IM compliance guidelines is not over.

"In the last couple of months, we have seen a steady increase in inquiries from financial services firms needing an easy-to-use and cost effective email and IM compliance solution to meet SEC and NASD guidelines," said Steve Uhring, vice president of sales and marketing for LiveOffice. "Many of these organizations have recently been through a regulatory audit or know someone who has, and they understand how serious regulatory bodies have become about maintaining accurate and tamper-proof email and IM records."
