GigaTrust Protector for Open Text ECM Suite-Extending RMS on Open Text Sites and Protecting Additional File Types

Protection of intellectual property and compliance with regulatory and corporate governance policies is changing the way people communicate and collaborate in their everyday work life. Open Text Enterprise Content Management (ECM) provides the built-in capability to protect documents created in Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint® and Excel. To protect all your other strategic file format and application needs, GigaTrust Protector steps in. GigaTrust has extended RMS within the Open Text platform to enable the protection to additional file types.

GigaTrust has created an integrated Protector for the Open Text ECM platform where content protection is applied automatically. This means the GigaTrust Protector for Open Text ECM Suite-the first product of its kind-utilizes a direct interface to Open Text. It is a software solution that plugs into the Intelligent Rights Management framework in the Microsoft Office SharePoint Services infrastructure. Our Protector broadens the Open Text ECM Suite and automatically "extends" RMS protection to content other than Microsoft Office documents downloaded by users. When a user uploads documents to Open Text ECM, the GigaTrust Protector removes the protection allowing Open Text ECM to save the document-it extends RMS protection to more files managed in Open Text ECM.

The GigaTrust Protector for the Open Text ECM solution is a combination of a server side application that is integrated into the Open Text servers and our secure client that enforces the rights directly in native applications-for example, protected PDFs are viewed securely in Adobe Reader (versions 8 & 9). This architectural approach allows for seamless integration into your operating environment with minimal change in user behavior.

The GT Protector for Open Text Enterprise Content Management benefits:

• Extends RMS to file formats supported by Adobe Reader (PDF) with more file formats being added all the time like MS Paint, Text and dozens of Computer Aided Design (CAD) files.
• Supports Office for either blocking or restricting applications like screen scrapers and remote sharing while viewing RMS-protected files in Microsoft Office applications
• Delivers content access secured directly in native applications
• Allows project teams to share planning and working documents from Open Text ECM sites created from their desktop
• Lets companies collaborate with outside business partners on financial documents, project materials, product design and development, and intellectual property
• Permits manufacturers to make part designs and assembly schematics available to their supply chain partners to increase speed to market and decrease costs
• Delivers customers a higher value for investment in Microsoft RMS and Open Text
• Provides security to more forms of an enterprise's intellectual property
