Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC) has announced enhancements to its multi-format viewing, collaboration and redaction technology for SharePoint.

Its Brava! and Redact-It products will allow users with non-Microsoft documents -- including TIFF, PDF and CAD drawings -- to utilise all SharePoint 2010's collaboration and workflow features.

With SharePoint 2010 and Silverlight, administrators can increase usability for mobile users by offering high resolution, streamable views of documents and CAD drawings via Silverlight and Microsoft's Seadragon zooming technology.

Brava can also pull and push metadata, allowing administrators to automatically display a watermark, like "Draft" or "Confidential" on documents. Custom stamps allow users to input information to the system, which can then trigger the next step in a workflow sequence.

Redact-It Enterprise offers automated redaction for companies and government agencies needing to protect sensitive and privacy information. Redact-It also supports virtually any format, creating a new, redacted TIFF or PDF rendition of the document with the sensitive selected information completely removed.

IGC President and CEO Gary Heath notes, "We are very excited about the release of SharePoint and Office 2010 and the possibilities it offers our mutual customers. Businesses are increasingly looking to improve team communication while managing compliance concerns. Brava and Redact-It, teamed with SharePoint, helps them get there."
