Informative Graphics Releases Brava! Enterprise v5.1 Content Visualization Server With Visual Rights; New Release Extends Enterprise Content Security
Informative Graphics® Corporation (IGC) announced the latest release of its industry-leading Brava!® Enterprise content visualization server, which extends content security as part of a unified visualization component to enterprise content management (ECM), portal and project data management (PDM) solutions.
Brava Enterprise is designed to augment intranet and extranet deployments where content is to be securely accessed, shared and annotated in a collaborative workflow. It is thin-client software that can view, markup and print a variety of document, image and CAD drawings using Internet Explorer, providing enterprises with a unified visualization framework that minimizes the need to have each corporate application on every desktop. With its support of large user groups and superior performance, Brava Enterprise has been adopted by the world's top online project and asset management service providers, such as Meridian Project Systems®, McGraw Hill, Constructware®, eBuilder, Bricsnet, Tririga Systems and Expesite.
The new Brava Enterprise v5.1 creates and views IGC's Content Sealed Format (CSF), which incorporates the Visual RightsT security framework. Visual Rights gives authors selective and persistent security controls over their content. Markups can be "burned-in" to CSF files, and the Block-out feature (redaction) allows users to hide specific file content from view, text search and print. CSF files are viewable by all Brava products, including a free reader that can be distributed along with CSF files.
Brava Enterprise v5.1 introduces a non-Java client, so customers now have a choice to use ActiveX or Java. The key advantage of the ActiveX client is that it doesn't require additional software on each desktop, unlike the JVM requirement of Java.
Also released are the Brava Enterprise v5.1 integrations to top content management solutions like Documentum® and Open Text® and to portal solutions like Microsoft® SharePoint. IGC also offers Brava Enterprise bundled with ProjectDox, a project data management solution that offers a turnkey extranet solution for sharing content securely with customers, suppliers and partners on a project basis. And Brava Enterprise is fully compatible with Brava Desktop and Brava Reader, the desktop (non-server) versions of the Brava product family.
