Redaction News & Articles

It's a common requirement for many organizations -- the ability to mask certain data in scanned documents so that it can't be seen by the wrong the people (or people who just don't need to see it).

PSIGEN (news, site) has updated its document scanning and capture suite, PSI:Capture, with that ability through the addition of Intelligent redaction.

A new feature in PSI:Capture 3.5.2, the system can be configured to automatically scan for confidential information such as a social security number or a credit card number and redact it (black it out). You can also create template for common documents that will automatically redact certain information.

While automated redaction is the optimal approach, manual redaction is also available.

Intelligent redaction is just the latest enhancement to the PSI:Capture product. Also included is SharePoint WebDav folder monitoring, advanced data extraction and triggered image processing.

As one of a number of document scanning and capture solutions specialized for SharePoint, PSI:Capture has all the features required to keep an organization compliant and their content secure.

If the process for managing records or search and discovery was linear, we wouldn't need many fancy, sophisticated tools to help us. But as it turns out, the process can be quite complicated and can go in many different directions.

Clearwell Systems (news, site), known for its eDiscovery platform, has announced the addition of three new modules to help users simplify the process by eliminating the need to move data across multiple tools.

Last November, Informative Graphics Corporation (news, site) released version 6.1 of its Brava software suite for multi-format document and image viewing, annotation and secure content delivery.

Since then, many enhancements have been in the works and have come together in their latest release. The recently updated Brava Family features new redaction functionalities, improved capabilities for integrators and resellers, as well as fidelity and performance updates.

Going green seems an integral part of content management systems, but when you stop to consider all the documents and information being archived, analyzed and managed there's bound to be a fair amount of paper along the way.

But there will be a little less paper thanks to Informative Graphics Corporation (news, site), a provider of viewing, collaboration and redaction technology. They've announced a partnership with The Paperless Project Coalition and its Go Green Initiative.

The goal is to create a "paperless office" by transforming the relationship organizations have with paper. By identifying paper intensive processes within an organization and replacing them with e-solutions, The Paperless Project Coalition, sponsored by Square 9 Softworks, will help to eliminate the overwhelming need for paper. As well, it makes things a bit more efficient and hopefully less expensive.

IGC joins a group of organizations committed to providing all that is necessary in making document management more green. With IGC's suite of annotation and redaction software, it and other solutions like front-end capture, core repository and image conversion, help to "supplant old paper-based processes" with e-management.

Going green is not just limited to saving paper, it's also an initiative to save energy, time and money.

Scrubbing (redacting) a sensitive document for electronic publication may seem like a simple process. Yet, as many high profile corporations and government agencies have shown, it's not as simple as it first appears.

The Informative Graphics Group's latest white paper, "Electronic Redaction: How to Properly Redact Documents," can help your organization's next redacted release be far more secure and far less embarrassing.
