“We spent three years developing the next generation information governance solution and are honored KMWorld selected RSD GLASS as a trend setting product for 2011,” said Tamir Sigal, RSD Director of Marketing.  “One trend that is popular year in and year out is the trend toward breaking down technology and information silos.  RSD GLASS breaks down two types of enterprise silos.  First, RSD GLASS gives our customers the ability to manage and enforce critical information governance policies across organizational and jurisdictional boundaries.  Second, and for the first time in our industry, RSD GLASS gives enterprises with multiple content repositories a solution that enforces those policies across once-concrete-hardened information silos.”

KMWorld Trend-Setting Product awards first appeared in 2003. This year, more than 800 products were assessed by the KMWorld judging panel, which includes of editorial colleagues, analysts, system integrators, vendors, line-of-business managers and users.
Information governance enforces desirable behavior in the creation, use, archiving, and deletion of corporate information.  It addresses regulations over multiple jurisdictions, as well as corporate standards for managing information. Information governance ensures proper retention and disposal of records, ensures data privacy rules are enforced, and supports eDiscovery requirements, storage optimization, and metadata management.

RSD GLASS manages policy for retention/disposition, data privacy, declassification, tier migration, and associates policies with laws and regulations. RSD GLASS enables companies to better protect and secure information – regardless of format, platform, and location. The platform is deployable across a wide range of business units and technologies. Additionally, the solution adopts industry standards and has an extensive software development kit (SDK) to promote a “best of breed” deployment.

"RSD GLASS was selected as a 2011 trend setting product because it demonstrates identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve the vendors’ full spectrum of constituencies, especially their customers," says Hugh McKellar KMWorld editor in chief.
