Jabber supports SSL connections
We run an internal Jabber server which all employees log into. This eliminates the reliance on an outside server (AOL/Yahoo/etc) as well as the security concerns of same outside servers.
Of course it's still cleartext over TCP, so it's not 100% secure but it's localized traffic.
We find it invaluable especially since our department has become geographically diverse. To be able to pop "Can you look at TT#XYZ?" vs an email or phone call is quite nice.
