Stellent, Inc., a provider of content management solutions, has acquired SealedMedia Limited, a provider of enterprise digital rights management solutions, and Bitform, a provider of content cleansing technologies.
SealedMedia is a London-based company helping organizations maintain control, for the lifetime of a document, over who can use their most sensitive information and when they can use it. Its enterprise digital rights management software protects information wherever it is stored and used, including on remote end-user desktops, laptops and mobile wireless devices.
Bitform is an early-stage software development company. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Chicago, Bitform's primary product addresses the rising challenge of hidden data within documents, which can create security and policy risks. This hidden information includes metadata, tracked changes and comments, revision and author history, fast-save data, and database connection details, among many other elements. The Bitform Secure SDK identifies and cleanses or strips files of sensitive, confidential or proprietary metadata and hidden information that may pose risks to organizations if exposed.
Stellent plans to integrate the SealedMedia and Bitform technologies within its enterprise software products in order to further differentiate its ECM offering.
