Pinion Software Releases New Generation of Technical Data Security
Peer-to-Peer solution provides efficient way to deploy rights management
on the engineering desktop
Austin, Texas - October 3, 2006 - Pinion Software, the leading provider
of Technical Rights Management (TRM) solutions, announced today a new
release of Pinion Receiver 4.0, the data security hub for all of its TRM
products. Pinion Receiver 4.0 is a streamlined, software version built
on Pinion's patented technology to deliver an ultra-efficient
industrial-strength security solution. Major enhancements include
native support for PTC Pro/ENGINEER® files and new CAD Viewer
applications. Pinion Software's advanced security protects high-value
CAD files and other technical information inside and outside the
corporate firewall - whether it is shared from the desktop by email,
CD/DVD, or centralized data management system.
Pinion Receiver 4.0 is a compact, fast, and efficient security solution
that ensures continuous protection of high-value information while it is
in-use by another party, such as a contract manufacturer, fellow
engineer, or purchasing professional. Pinion Receiver is a freely
distributed application that enforces the security restrictions that
have been applied to files using any of Pinion Software's packaging
products. Pinion's flexible lineup of desktop packaging products,
combined with Receiver 4.0, offers a quantum leap forward in
peer-to-peer security for a broad variety of technical and business
application files. Engineers and manufacturers can "Pintect" file types
within native CAD applications and file viewers with full rich read and
file shred capabilities including native measurement, component
segmentation, and other functionality required for data workflow and
business processes.
Pinion File Protection - Seamless, Advanced Security for CAD Files and More
Pinion Receiver 4.0 introduces native support for PTC Pro/ENGINEER
application and files. Engineers are able to open and work with secured
files in the native Pro/ENGINEER application to the extent allowed by
the permissions that have been applied to ensure its protection. This
release adds extended support for securing files opened in other popular
CAD viewers and business applications. The new lineup includes PTC
ProductView, Autodesk Design Review (formerly DWF composer), Autodesk
TrueView, SolidWorks eDrawings and Macromedia Flash.
Introduced with this release of Pinion Receiver are two new packaging
products for applying security to files. Pinion Desktop
Packager-Pro/ENGINEER Edition enables engineers to secure native
Pro/ENGINEER files with permissions that restrict what recipients can do
with the data. Pinion Desktop Packager - Watermark Edition provides
that ability to apply a personalized watermark to PDF files by adding
the recipient's email address. Both products are PC-based applications
and provide continuous, data protection in a server-less implementation.
"Engineers and manufacturers are asking in a louder and louder voice
'How do I secure the sensitive information that I'm sharing,
particularly CAD files and other technical data? How can I implement
file security without adding major IT infrastructure, more consultants,
and disruption to our workflow?'", says Darryl Worsham, president and
CEO of Pinion Software."Businesses are hungry for a highly secure, yet
lightweight solution that does not require a sizeable investment in
additional IT infrastructure. Pinion Software has responded to this
market need with cost-effective, peer-to-peer information protection
solutions designed to security-enable existing systems, workflow and
business processes."
