Microsoft AD RMS Enabler

THE CHALLENGE

Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) product is an excellent and widely used data protection offering. However, the solution is rarely exploited to the fullest on an enterprise level. It is focused on the basics of Enterprise Rights Management and relies on partner solutions to extend this base offer into the problem space often requested by customers. Namely: native coverage for applications other than MS-Office; integration with line-of-business applications; finely granular and application specific centralized security policy; detailed auditing capabilities for compliance and forensics; and finally simpler enablement of external collaboration.
