Liquid Machines and Trinity Technologies Join Forces to Further Enterprise Rights Management Adoption by Energy and Process Manufacturing Organizations
Companies Partner to Deliver End-to-End Content Control to Protect Intellectual Property and Achieve Regulatory Compliance
Lexington, MA and Wellesley, MA — April 27, 2004 — Liquid Machines and Trinity Technologies today announced a strategic partnership aimed at delivering complete enterprise rights management solutions to energy, pharmaceutical and process manufacturing enterprises, enabling them to better protect sensitive information and achieve regulatory compliance. As part of the agreement, the two companies will work to deliver customized rights management solutions to Documentum customers and other users of information and document-based technology solutions.
“Pharmaceutical and process manufacturing organizations have historically been early adopters of technology that helps them manage intellectual property and sensitive documents,” said Jim Schoonmaker, CEO of Liquid Machines. “By combining Liquid Machines’ rights management technology with Trinity Technologies’ expertise in information management, through their Information Asset Solutions, we can help organizations protect sensitive information as it is created and used, and extend those capabilities throughout entire business processes and across enterprise boundaries.”
The Liquid Machines Enterprise Rights Management platform allows companies to create policies that govern the use and dissemination of corporate data. Liquid Machines protects information from the moment of creation through distribution, editing, storage, and subsequent destruction and disposal. The policies travel with the data, regardless of what applications or individuals access the data. Liquid Machines rights enables any application, ensuring that only specified users access the data and controlling and tracking who reads, cuts/pastes, prints or alters the information.
“Energy and process manufacturing organizations continue to deal with the complexity of managing information throughout the content lifecycle,” said Joe Morray, president of Trinity Technologies, a leading systems integration company and longtime Documentum partner. “Liquid Machines allows organizations to persistently control sensitive content, especially information that is protected by regulations. We are seeing increasing demand from our clients in exploring how rights management technology can help solve their content control requirements.”
Trinity helps companies align critical work processes with information technologies to become more competitive. Trinity has extensive expertise in configuring, customizing and implementing Documentum for pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, power and process industries.
Through Liquid Machines’ partnership and integration with Documentum, enterprises can automatically create, enforce and monitor access and usage policies placed upon data as it travels outside of the Documentum environment and is used within applications such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Liquid Machines automatically attaches dynamic policies that enforce real-time control to file-based content as it leaves the Documentum repository, regardless of where it travels or in which applications it is used.
Liquid Machines’ policies control the access to and usage of information through a unique combination of rights management, encryption, key and identity management, and real-time monitoring technology. Together with Trinity Technologies, Liquid Machines can customize these capabilities for specific Documentum deployments.
