Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) for Windows Server 2003 helps safeguard digital information from unauthorized use-both online and offline, inside and outside of the firewall. In conjunction with RMS-enabled applications, RMS augments an organization's security strategy by protecting information through persistent usage policies. These policies remain with the information-whether documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and e-mail messages-no matter where it goes or how it is stored.
  • Boost security by reducing the risk of information leaks through persistent protection of data
  • Streamline adoption and deployment with out-of-the box integration with e-mail communication workflow, the Microsoft Office system, and Active Directory
  • Gain seamless integration with third-party products by using a powerful SDK
  • Eliminate unauthorized viewing and distribution of sensitive corporate data
  • Improve compliance with internal and external regulations by lowering the risk of data leaks
  • Reduce the risk of intellectual property loss, which can result in a compromised ability to compete
