Informative Graphics Experiences 50% Year-over-Year Growth
as Demand Accelerates for Secure Document Viewing and Collaboration
Company Surpasses 4000 Customer Milestone as Healthcare,
Insurance, Government and Financial Industries Select Informative
Graphics for Workflow Efficiency, Information Security and Compliance
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—December 8, 2008—Informative
Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in viewing, annotation
and redaction technology, today announced that the company experienced
50% growth from November, 2007 to November, 2008 as demand for
its secure viewing and collaboration products accelerated worldwide.
More than 4000 customers in healthcare, insurance, government,
financial services and other verticals currently use Informative
Graphics for workflow efficiency, information security and compliance.
Demand for enterprise content management (ECM) solutions that provide
secure document viewing and collaboration continues to fuel growth
for Informative Graphics as organizations’ concerns around information
security and privacy protection increase. This demand has resulted
in across-the-board expansion of strategic partnerships including
EMC Documentum, OpenText, IBM, Interwoven and Kofax. Secure ECM solutions
are a high-priority investment for enterprises concerned with e-Discovery
readiness, optimizing workflows and regulatory compliance. Analysts
agree that solutions in this area are expected to remain a must-have
technology for 2009.
Since its inception, Informative Graphics has demonstrated technology
excellence with viewing, annotation and electronic redaction products
that address secure content access and delivery. Its unique Content
Sealed Format (CSF) with Visual Rights® allows users to add additional
file security like an expiration date and password and feature restrictions
like print, copy and annotation. These capabilities help organizations
answer compliance concerns and reduce liability by making it easier
to protect privacy information and confidential data.
2008 witnessed a number of new innovations by Informative Graphics.
The company introduced Redact-It®, the industry’s first comprehensive
suite of redaction software products including a desktop version,
fully automated server product that can be integrated into workflow
process or used for batch jobs, and a plug-in to scanning systems.
Redact-It intelligently detects and removes privacy information, including
social security numbers, names and phone numbers, before making documents
secure and available to a wider audience. Also this year, Informative
Graphics raised the bar for unified viewers with its latest version
of Brava!®, a multi-format viewer with advanced electronic redaction
and Visual Rights persistent file security. The company also unveiled
the industry’s first role-based redaction for ECM as part of its Brava!
Enterprise viewing, annotation and redaction software for OpenText
Livelink ECM™.
Informative Graphics continues to assert its position in the market
as the leading enabler of document viewing, collaboration and redaction
solutions and is capitalizing on its technology advantage to aggressively
capture market share in key industries such as government, life sciences,
insurance, legal, and education verticals. With a growing distribution
network, Informative Graphics expanded its footprint in 2008 with
installations around the world reaching an estimated three million
installed seats.
