Surety Joins Documentum Alliance Program; Plans to Integrate Data Integrity
HERNDON, Virginia, August 02, 2004 – Surety, LLC, the leading provider of perpetual data integrity solutions today announced a partnership with Documentum, the leading provider of enterprise content management and a division of EMC Corporation, that will bring together best-of-breed technologies to enable companies to protect their intellectual property, defend evidence in court and comply with regulatory mandates by validating their electronic records. The combined solution will enable customers, third-party auditors and government regulators to prove the date and time and content integrity of any object created in the Documentum Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform independent of an organization\'s internal system controls. As part of the partnership, Surety will build an integration of its AbsoluteProof SM data integrity solution with the Documentum ECM platform, and will make the combined solution available to companies in the pharmaceutical, legal, and government markets.
Documentum provides ECM solutions using one common content platform and repository that enables organizations to collaboratively create, manage, deliver and archive unstructured content, such as documents, email, web pages, records and rich media that drive business operations. Surety’s AbsoluteProof is the only long-lived, cryptographically verifiable data integrity service that generates irrefutable evidence of exactly what electronic records were created, precisely when, and that they haven’t been altered since that time.
“In light of recent, highly-publicized corporate governance and mutual fund late trading scandals, not only is it important for companies to manage their electronic records effectively, it is imperative that the trustworthiness of those records be guaranteed,” said Tom Klaff, CEO of Surety. “Ensuring data integrity is an integral component of any enterprise content management system and through our partnership with Documentum, a leader in ECM, we help our joint customers validate and maximize the value of their content.”
