"IP protection is a growing priority among enterprise manufacturing and engineering businesses, " says Darryl Worsham, president and CEO of Pinion Software.
"What companies have found is that the cost, time, and complexity of implementing many solutions are equal to, or exceeds, the problem they are trying to solve".
"Our ShareSafe solution for ProductView Graphics Server is infrastructure-light, trust model friendly, and exploits a customer's existing investment in systems, workflow, and business processes to minimise the total cost of ownership".
The ShareSafe packaging engine protects information provisioned out of ProductView Graphics Server by applying in-use restrictions that travel with the files no matter where they are sent.
Security may be automatically applied to files based on business rules and policies defined in the system, for example like user roles or file type.
Using extensible programming interface tools, the packaging engine can be customised to "plug-in" to a variety of other PLM or data-management systems.
Pinion Software offers packaged Directory Adaptors to support the integration of its file security products with existing corporate directories and systems that manage user identities, eg Active Directory, Lotus/Domino, LDAP, etc.
Directory Adaptors exploit user identity and group definitions in the corporate directory system and correlate authentication credentials with unique Pinion identifiers that are associated with individual recipients of secure content.
Protected files are then addressable to specific users or groups defined in the directory and forwarding to unauthorised recipients may be blocked.
Pinion Software offers a variety of products to meet the file security needs of PTC users.
