Info2clear announces creation of its subsidiary SecureAttachment
As part of its strategy to Value Added Resellers and to better serve its corporate clients Info2clear has separated its solution SecureAttachment™ into a subsidiary. SecureAttachment enables users to send confidential documents electronically as email attachments without the threat of unauthorized re-distribution by recipients.
(PRWEB) October 3, 2002
Info2clear started its activities in 1998 for the Media industry. The company provides them with the ability to select an approach to digitally distribute and resell their content according to their business models, and then builds the necessary infrastructure. Info2clear’s technology and know-how can be used for any form of content – text (newspaper articles, eZines or eBooks), music or video.
Digital Rights Management (DRM), which is focused on preserving intellectual property in the online world, has largely focused on the concerns of eBook publishers looking to exploit new distribution channels for authors work. However, Info2clear believes DRM has wider application in the enterprise market, particularly in those sectors (financial services and healthcare) that exchange confidential and sensitive client information intensively. SecureAttachment combines an end-to-end DRM solution for the secure distribution of PDFs (Portable Document Formats) with a web mail interface, which can be integrated into a companyÂ’s existing email system or used as a hosted service.
The SecureAttachment system (www. secureattachment. com) is based on AdobeÂ’s PDF format as underlying document technology. Because of its platform independence, its openness and the free reader software, PDF is currently the most widely used format for exchange of electronic documents between businesses and between governments and citizens. SecureAttachment provides standard PDF conversion for a number of widely used document formats and increases convenience by making it easy to distribute secure documents online.
“We have separated SecureAttachment from the media activity because of a significant difference in both business models and go-to-market approaches. Info2clear will focus exclusively on core media activity and the subsidiary will focus on the full-scale development of DRM in corporate environments,” explains Anthony Belpaire, CEO Info2clear.
“Built around Adobe PDF and Adobe Content Server, SecureAttachment provides the highest standard of security and rights management to control the distribution of confidential and valuable documents sent as email attachments. SecureAttachment should therefore be a strategic element of any Enterprise Communication strategy,” says James Alexander, Director eBooks Cross Media Publishing, Adobe Systems Inc.
“SecureAttachment combines the speed and convenience of e-mailing documents with excellent document control,” says Bruno Vandermeulen, Partner in Bird & Bird’s Intellectual Property Department. “Even more crucial is our ability to move from delivering paper documents to distributing materials securely online in Adobe PDF and to control further distribution of the document. This improves client services and ensures that we can adhere to issues surrounding confidentiality, client-attorney privilege, and non-disclosure agreements.”
