When combined with our Lotus Notes application, IM'ng takes on a new world of productivity! It's just simply awesome. At a glance, the manager can see who's in the office when that unexpected Severity One hits us, and she can say "Hey, I need our best who's here NOW to deal with this. It needs to be solved in the next 10 minutes!". Also, it's WAY faster to IM someone than to email them. Plus, you can set your status so people actually know when you're out to lunch (physically vs mentally! :-) ) and a bunch of other things.

I'll never understand an office env. that would ban it, as it makes for very quick and easy communication, where an e-mail is overkill, or quick questions etc. Especially when people might be on conf. calls or in group online meetings. Maybe this place is not the norm, but I sure as hell wouldn't wanna be the norm :) Where I work, we are actually required to have MSN Messenger, with everyone in the office (s) on your contact list.
