New capabilities for data integration connects users
Data integration functionality in the 2007 Office system enhances the connection between individual work products and centralized information sources to help ensure that government employees, warfighters, elected and appointed officials, contractors, and others are working with accurate, timely information.

Information rights management protects intellectual property
Information rights management (IRM) enforces document and e-mail usage policies to help protect and control intellectual property and sensitive government or confidential citizen information. With the IRM features in the 2007 Office system, you control your files even after they have left your desktop. Individuals or groups can be given a set of permissions according to the access levels assigned to them by authors or based on custom permission policies that your administrator has created.
