Orchestria's Messaging Watcher
We talked to one of UK-based Orchestria's backers, Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures, recently and they had good things to say about the startup. Looks like eWeek also thinks the same, as it has named it to its Excellence list of the "top innovative and relevant enterprise" vendors of the year.
It is a list otherwise dominated by giants: Microsoft, Fujitsu, Lenovo, Bea, and the like.
Orchestria sells email and IM management software that can prevent users from sending a message or an email that they shouldn't.
With email scandals fresh in their minds, it is the investment banking sector that was the quickest to adopt Orchestria's tech. Customers include Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers. The software is also integrated into Bloomberg's messaging app.
Based on policies that are pre-programmed, its software detects when emails or messages contain information that they should not, and either prevents them from being sent or makes the user think twice before pushing send.
Next target market is the pharma industry.
