What is Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM)?
Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) enables manufacturers to securely collaborate across the value ecosystem by managing IP protection through access control rules, security tracking, and authentication mechanisms. Because of the increased security it offers, EDRM alleviates risk and non-compliance challenges while enabling teams to develop and introduce new products to market faster.
How is Enterprise Digital Rights Management Implemented?
EDRM enables secure collaboration while empowering manufacturers to set control policies, leverage security labels, and set up tracking, audit, and authentication mechanisms such as single sign-on (SSO). Manufacturers can limit the availability and accessibility of the desired set of information to their suppliers and contractors, protecting and preventing access to proprietary or non-essential data. This approach ensures that collaboration can still be achieved across the value chain without putting IP at risk.
Why Does EDRM Matter for Data-Centric Security?
Why Does EDRM Matter for Data-Centric Security?
By automating EDRM that’s based on a single authoritative source of data, manufacturers can securely manage, orchestrate, and share information between the PLM system and other strategic enterprise systems, such as MES/MOM, SCM, CRM and ERP, both internally and with external partners. Building the right controls and rules into each project can provide these benefits:
- Suppliers and subcontractors can collaborate on new designs and benefit from automatically generated communications with the pre-defined set of rules and controls embedded.
- The risk of data loss and non-compliance related issues is reduced.
- Revenue sources and critical IP will be protected against the competition, while business growth and innovation are accelerated.
