Business Wire, June 22, 2004

LOS GATOS, Calif -- Just-in-time encryption supports digital delivery of case studies

SealedMedia Inc., the leading provider of enterprise document and email security solutions, today announced that working with Documentum, the leading provider of enterprise content management and a division of EMC Corporation, they have created a solution that allows Harvard Business School Publishing to securely distribute electronic format case studies from its highly respected case collection.

Harvard Business School Publishing is the leading provider of case studies developed by Harvard Business School faculty and academics at other leading institutions, with more than 8,000 cases in its collection. These teaching materials are used worldwide in business schools and other learning environments that utilize the case method pedagogy of immersion and group decision-making in realistic business scenarios. The case method encourages experiential learning and the many skills that support sound business judgment.

"We were looking for a solution that would allow us to provide customers with easy access to case studies delivered electronically, while ensuring that distribution occurs reliably and securely," said Scott Lubeck, the Chief Technology Officer at Harvard Business School Publishing. "Documentum and Sealed Media worked together to deliver just-in-time encryption of case studies for digital delivery, and we have a novel solution to meet customer needs, while fulfilling our own business requirements for electronic commerce direct from our publishing platform."

The SealedMedia document security solution controls and secures content once it leaves the Documentum repository. All that's required of customers to access case studies with Sealed Media is Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or higher and the SealedMedia Unsealer, both of which are free downloadable plug-ins. The SealedMedia system handles password and rights management for the various types of functionality assigned to each document.

SealedMedia CEO, George Everhart stated:

"We are pleased to be involved with an institution as highly regarded as Harvard Business School Publishing. We view this solution as a real benchmark for companies looking to protect their high value intellectual property, where the underlying document security technology provides the desired level of control, while having a minimum impact on workflow, leading to a terrific user experience."

"Customers such as the Harvard Business School Publishing continue to extend the functionality of the Documentum ECM platform by integrating rights management software, like SealedMedia, for complete control over sensitive, protected content," said Howard Shao, founder, executive vice president and chief technology officer for the Documentum division of EMC. "Documentum is pleased to work with Sealed Media in meeting the requirements of our joint customers."
