eWEEK Labs Recognizes Liquid Machines Document Control 5.0 as One of the Industry's Best, Most Intuitive Rights Management Solutions

Market Wire, June, 2005

Liquid Machines®, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) solutions, today announced that an eWEEK Labs' DRM Special Report has recognized Liquid Machines Document Control 5.0 as "one of the best, most intuitive" enterprise rights management systems with "excellent reporting and auditing capabilities," "flexible management options," and an "unobtrusive client implementation."

The four-product review, published in the June 27, 2005, edition of eWEEK, describes Liquid Machines Document Control 5.0 as an "easily managed and flexible rights management system" and credits Liquid Machines for going "further than most products of its kind, extending rights management tools to some applications that have previously lacked them." Jim Rapoza, eWEEK Labs' Director, found Liquid Machines Document Control's ability to act as a client for Microsoft's RMS "compelling" and explained how Liquid Machines' support for Microsoft RMS "makes it possible for companies to use RMS with older versions of Office than Microsoft's solution supports."

"We are very pleased with eWEEK's evaluation of our Document Control 5.0 Enterprise Rights Management software," said Michael Ruffolo, president and CEO of Liquid Machines, Inc. "The value eWEEK Labs places on interoperability, easy-of-use, and reporting and analysis reaffirms our strategy to deliver a rights management solution that works seamlessly with exiting IT infrastructures without requiring users to change the way they work, and places ultimate information control in the hands of the enterprise."

Among Liquid Machines Document Control 5.0 strengths that were noted in the eWEEK Labs' DRM Special Report were the following:

--  Intuitive management interface that makes policy definition simple
--  Intelligent company base-line policy creation capabilities with
    included sample policy templates
--  Unobtrusive policy assignment that "works well" to protect documents
--  Easy integration with LDAP and Active Directory servers
--  Broad application support including Microsoft Office 2000, XP and
    2003; Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 & 7.0, and Microsoft Visio, which eWEEK Labs
    considers a welcome addition because Visio documents are often sensitive in
    nature
