Join us on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time for a live demonstration of how Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) and Liquid Machines can help your firm establish strong controls on regulated and confidential information such as client data, contracts, personnel information, or other sensitive material.

Liquid Machines extends the Windows RMS platform to provide support for applications beyond Office 2003, including Adobe Acrobat, and automatically protects emails and attachments based on corporate-defined policies. 

This presentation will show how Liquid Machines and Windows RMS can help to solve your firm’s information control and regulatory compliance challenges:

*  Intellectual Property Protection – Control access to and usage of sensitive data such as client information, contracts, and project information

*  Secure Collaboration Zones – Establish “virtual walls” between contract analysts, clients, accounting and billing staff, and internal personnel

*  Corporate Governance & Sarbanes-Oxley – Establish enterprise-defined information usage policies that ensure employees, officers, and directors maintain the confidentiality of information, and protect data from access and modification by unauthorized users to ensure segregation of duties
