How Associations & Standards Organizations Use Vitrium DRM Software
Associations & Standard Development Organizations need to ensure their documents, certification guides, and training materials are protected and exclusive to members. Standards documents are vital for a myriad of different organizations, providing guidelines and protocols that ensure consistency and quality. Vitrium has over a decade of experience assisting Associations, Membership Organizations, and Standards Development Organizations protect their IP and easily distribute content.
How a Major National Standards Organization Relies on Vitrium
Since 2017, Vitrium has supported a major national standards organization to protect its valuable content. The organization produces standards documents that are sold on their online platform. A long standing customer of Vitrium, this organization relies on Vitrium’s Enterprise DRM software to protect over 80 thousand standards documents, making certain they are kept exclusive to paying members.
The content they distribute is hosted in their own eCommerce system (with a Salesforce backend), which is fully integrated with Vitrium’s software. This ensures that the process for distributing protected content is seamless and streamlined. End users that purchase and access the standards documents that the organization provides do not have to download any plugins or apps, they do not have to access any other pages, and do not have to go through Vitrium to view content. The organization remains in complete control over their valuable intellectual property, and the end users’ experience is not affected by the implementation of DRM software.
The process for distributing protected standards documents to end users is as follows:
- Access the organization’s website
- Select the standard or standards they wish to purchase and add it to their cart
- Review cart and click “Check Out”
- Receive a confirmation and access the organization’s “OnDemand Library”
- Select the standard or standards in their OnDemand Library
- Click on “View Online” - This refers Vitrium’s Web Viewer
- Open their standard with Vitrium’s Web Viewer
When the user clicks on “View Online” and opens the standard, the authorization and authentication call are instant. The user does not need to download anything or go to any other pages to view the content. The document is protected with Vitrium and different DRM control measures are in place. Additionally, the organization determines the permissions each user or groups of users will have when accessing protected standards, selecting which security measures to put in place to keep content protected.
With Vitrium’s support, the organization has been able to distribute valuable standards documents with the peace of mind that content will remain exclusive to authorized, paying users. Furthermore, they know that the more than eighty thousand documents they protect will be secured from copying and sharing, and that they will have the control to decide how users access these documents.
Users simply purchase standards and view them online. The organization uses Vitrium to encrypt documents, add expiry dates, watermarks, device limits, screen capture prevention measures, and many more DRM settings that guarantee their content is kept thoroughly protected.
