Pinion Joins PTC Partner Advantage Program

By DE Editors

Pinion Software, Inc. (Austin, TX), a provider of Technical Rights Management (TRM) solutions, has joined the PTC Partner Advantage Program.

Through this partnership, Pinion Software is extending the security capabilities of Pro/Engineer, PTC’s integrated product design solution that helps companies develop digital product representations. 

Pinion Software solutions add another level of data protection during design collaboration, outsourced contract manufacturing, and other technical business processes where high-value CAD data and engineering information is shared via the Internet with partners, vendors, or contractors. 

Engineers, manufacturers, and purchasing professionals can protect their digital data in many ways utilizing Pinion’s “Rich Read and Shred” data security technology. 

Pro/Engineer users will be able to assign time-based access to files, impose an automatic shred date to self destruct files, and prevent recipients from using Cut, Copy, Paste, and Print functions or screen grabber tools.  Pinion’s Autoshred capability and its suite of File Security features enable continuous control over how CAD and engineering information is used by recipients inside and outside the corporate firewall.
