Organizations share information. The Microsoft Rights Management services (RMS) offering helps organizations keep their critical information secure, both inside and outside of the organization, by protecting documents both at rest and in motion.
Microsoft RMS enables the flow of protected data on all important devices, of all important file types, and lets these files be used by all important people in a user’s collaboration circle. Yes, RMS will now protect any file type (not just Microsoft Office documents), let you access them on many devices (not just Windows PCs), and enable sharing with other organizations (not just within your organization). Furthermore IT Pros can perform simple, planned deployments of RMS or, if not deployed by the IT Professionals, Information workers (IWs) can adopt RMS on their own.
The Microsoft Rights Management suite is implemented as an Azure service. It comprises a set of RMS applications that work on all your common devices, a set of software development kits, and related tooling. By leveraging Windows Azure Active Directory, the Azure RMS service acts as a trusted hub for secure collaboration where one organization can easily share information securely with other organizations without additional setup or configuration. The other organization(s) may be existing Azure RMS customers but if not, they can use the Azure ‘RMS for Individuals’ capability.
