IGC Offers Collaborative Document Review Experience for Yammer Users

Informative Graphics Corporation, a leader in viewing, collaboration and redaction technology, announced an integration that can provide a powerful collaborative document review experience for Yammer (News - Alert) users.

In a release Jeff Herding, vice president of sales at Informative Graphics Corporation or IGC said, “This partnership seamlessly combines IGC's secure document viewing with Yammer’s leading-edge collaboration capabilities for the true benefit of the enterprise. It allows today’s users – who are comfortable with social media tools – to work more efficiently on documents while still maintaining corporate compliance standards.”

It was revealed that Yammer users can open a document in IGC’s Brava! viewer from their enterprise content management system. They can add comments at specific locations within the document which is then pushed to the user’s Yammer feed with a link to the document in the repository which allows further collaboration.

Brava does not alter the original document in order to ensure document security and integrity. It always sends an encrypted rendition to the user’s workstation, said officials.

Brava also displays the corresponding Yammer thread which allows subsequent users to view the edited document along with all comments and discussions related to the document. Both Brava and Yammer can work securely within the enterprise so that the solution ensures content to remain secure besides meeting all compliance objectives.

The need to email potentially sensitive documents is eliminated and there is no need to worry about old document versions in circulation, pointed out company sources.

David Stewart, vice president of platform at Yammer stated, “Our open API enables innovative companies like IGC to integrate any resource on the web into the Yammer Social Graph, making it easier to discover, track and collaborate on relevant business data. We are excited to be demoing this integration at the Microsoft (News - Alert) SharePoint Conference with them and improving the way everyone works and collaborates.”

In August 2011, Informative Graphics Corporation launched the latest version of its electronic redaction software – Redact-It Desktop – according to a TMCnet report.
