Press Release
Informative Graphics to Integrate Its Visual Rights®
Technology Into All Office Document, Imaging and CAD Publishing
and Viewing Products
Persistent, Integrated Security Adds Exceptional Control
Over Content Distribution and Usage
PHOENIX, Arizona September 30, 2003 -- Informative
Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in Web-document and
collaboration technology, announced today that its Visual
Rights™ security architecture will become a standard component
of the entire IGC product line, strengthening its value and
position in the Enterprise Document Management (EDM) market
space.
Visual Rights currently refers to security controls that can
be applied to a given file when published for viewing by one of
IGC's products. Visual Rights security is persistent and
utilizes standard AES 256 bit encryption. Users can publish a
"content sealed" file and add controls such as password
protection, hard or relative viewing expiration dates, and
allow/disallow printing and copying. For CAD drawings, users can
disable measurement and viewing with CAD layer controls. Visual
Rights also features redaction to block out specific content
within a document or drawing file. For 3D CAD models, Visual
Rights offers the ability to hide the interior details of a
model completely.
Introducing Visual Rights technology to IGC's products is
part of an enhancement program designed to increase product
value for the enterprise and consolidate the company's content
publishing technologies under a single product brand. IGC owns
the trademark Net-It®, which it currently attaches to its Web
document publishing product, Net-It® Central. Going forward, IGC
will use the Net-It and Visual Rights trademarks for all of its
document, 2D CAD, and 3D model publishing products.
"We see our distinct advantage coming from having a solid
position at both ends of document flow," said Gary Heath, CEO at
IGC. "We're already well established as a viewing technology
company. But the downstream course of any document starts with
publishing, and we offer a tremendous amount of control at a
greatly reduced total cost of ownership. Also, we feel we can
leverage our wide-ranging CAD and 3D file expertise in ways that
other companies, like Adobe, have not yet mastered," he added.
IGC's Visual Rights technology can be layered into existing
digital rights management and document management security
strategies. The company is planning to introduce a server-based
Visual Rights application in 2004, along with a programming
interface that will allow the Visual Rights server to
communicate seamlessly with document management storage vaults
from companies like Documentum and Open Text, as well as
enterprise directory services and other Digital Rights
Management (DRM) systems, such as Windows Rights Management
Services from Microsoft® Corporation.
