A few weeks ago I referred in one of my blog posts that Gartner has had its radar on Enterprise Rights Management. I also mentioned in my post that I will review the 2 most recent papers on Enterprise Rights Management, and that is what I intend to do here by reviewing the first paper published in May this year.
Enterprise Digital Rights Management by Eric Quellet is a must read paper for any organisation that is considering Enterprise Rights Management. It helps decision makers consider the implications of using Enterprise Rights Management to protect its intellectual property and how best to implement it. Eric starts of with the latest key findings about this security tool in which he refers to the proprietary nature of current EDRM solutions to which there are no industry wide standards. This has benefits from my perspective because it drives innovation for EDRM to become more user friendly and help reduce the total cost of ownership. There is something inherent about standards that slows the pace of innovation and development.
