ERM Not Just For the "Big Guys" Anymore, Small Business Rights Management, A Reality
Small Business Rights Management (SBRM) is a term which reflects
the shift ERM (Enterprise Rights Management) technology has
taken as awareness of industry compliance issues and protection
of original works has evolved and become implicit within
businesses of under 50 employees. From published manuscripts to
original cookie recipes, protecting original works, customer or
patient records isn't just "good business," but in many
industries a matter of compliance. The question is how can small
firm businesses invest in ERM software at its current exorbitant
cost?
The realm of protected digital documents, like many business
solution advances has traditionally only been available to
privileged large corporate enterprise businesses. This is no
longer the case.
Technology mandates that it catch up with the populace. In the
early 1980s, first generation laptops are a far cry from the
lightweight Apple PowerBooks, or Dells. ERM software has itself
has begun to slim down and no longer appears like the bulky
over-priced, 24 pound Osborne1 (the first laptop computer).
Rights management solutions can now be for small to medium-sized
businesses or sole-proprietorships too. SBRM solutions provide
businesses of a smaller scale an equal level of user rights
management and encryption previously available to large
enterprise business.
Standard ERM or SBRM software gives content authors the power to
determine how recipients may use their email and documents. For
example, senders can prevent unauthorized distribution (no
forwarding, printing) and prevent unauthorized editing (no cut,
copy, paste) of content, i.e. copy prevention.
For some industries like finance, medical and legal,
keeping
communiqué, client/patient records and data is a matter of
industry compliance. In finance, Sarbanes-Oxley protects
investors and governs corporate responsibility. HIPAA the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act not only protects
health insurance coverage for workers and their families when
they change or lose their jobs, but also dictates that patient
information be kept private. Compliance regulations in such
industries are a cost of doing business, and are often pricey
mandates. Government compliance issues for many industries often
becomes a burden, forcing small neighborhood clinics, firms and
businesses go under due the financial stress.
Compliance as it concerns digital data is finally catching up to
the widening commercial sector which is highly impacted by the
success of small businesses. Small firms dealing with compliance
issues can turn to SBRM solutions to bridge the gap between
staying current with industry regulations and staying in
business.
