From my experience, I would suggest setting up a Jabber/XMPP server, allow public IM protocols through that via gateways and then block all public IM traffic from your workstations. That way people will be able to get to the public IM, but only through the server you provide which will then be logged.
I specifically have experience with this setup using ...

The "ops team" should be fired for incompetence. XP is outdated, 32 bit most likely. it is not actually licensed for server use, which makes the legal point interesting (financially).
They should install 2008 R2 64 bit. Server or client OS makes freaking no difference in itself - an OS is an OS, and you need one in a VmWare.
some of them have an ...

The email-to-SMS gateway can be a product you buy in and run locally, a service you can sign up to, or whatever. There's nothing very exotic about this from your point of ...

Just to give you yet another perspective. There are many cloud services that do bulk email and SMS broadcast. They all normally have API to push your data into. In Anturis we use Mailchimp for emails and BulkSMS for SMS as well as several other providers (for redundancy).

I don't actually have experience with it, but I have heard of people using ejabberd together with Bandersnatch to log messages sent via a Jabber server.
To achieve total IM logging, you would then again have to firewall users from directly accessing the servers, and snake them through your ejabberd.
The advantage of ejabberd over Openfire is that ejabberd ...

If:
You're opposed to using an existing middleware bus.
Your switch supports IGMP snooping (basically any Cisco switch you can buy will have this turned on by default---I assume Dell/HP switches will also have this feature)
You're all on the same VLAN
Then IPv4 multicast will work out-of-the-box for exactly what you're trying to do. Receivers subscribe ...

Creating the rule is easy. You can create it once, export it and let users Import it into their own set of rules. (This is what we've done to create a rule that checks SpamAssassin SMTP headers on the way in in order to move flagged messages to the SPAM folder).
Turn off the option to save sent items
Create a new blank rule, select Check messages after ...

Although originally stemming from the computer gaming scene, TeamSpeak has become a fairly usable cross-platform VoIP client.
The only problem would be that TeamSpeak in itself does not really offer messaging capabilities. And, as I just found out while checking up again, they are actually charging license fees right now for commercial server usage.
