Windows Rights Management Services Partners

Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) allows independent software vendors (ISVs), infrastructure service providers, and system integrators to incorporate features into their products and services that leverage the information protection technology in Windows Server 2003.

  Persistently protecting information as it is retrieved from document management systems, enabling compliance with security

  Automatically protecting sensitive office documents and e-mail in arbitrary workflows
