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, Open Text, 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 Open Text 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.
