We use something similar at the office. We have chat for all employees based on google talk, but it is encrypted before it's sent to Google's servers and decrypted after receipt.

I understand this boils down to security vs convenience but one of the main reasons I like google talk is that I can search through my old messages and I believe encrypting it before sending it to google, "disables" that functionality.

Interesting, is it open source?

OTR is open source, yes.
