Hosted document repository

The success of any organization depends on its ability to access and share critical information with internal and external customers to support its day to day operations. Yet the need for easy access to information has to be balanced with the need for securing and protecting sensitive and confidential data in a cost-effective manner.

What is Secure On-Demand?

Secure On-Demand™is a hosted document repository specifically designed to address the concerns of business and government organizations with a need to distribute sensitive and confidential materials in a tightly controlled and highly secure environment.

Secure On-Demand™accommodates internal document sharing within a department or across the globe. It can be used to securely manage access to content from outside the firewall, enabling you to interact with external customers, business partners, and suppliers in a highly protected and secure environment. With sophisticated viewing rights management, Secure On-Demand™gives you total control over access to content and full access history for all users, both internal and external.

Secure On DemandCDG has delivered confidential technical and business document services to Aerospace, Manufacturing, Government, and other industries for decades, covering the full document lifecycle, from technical authoring, to confidential digital imaging, to secure document and data hosting.

Companies have traditionally installed business systems inside the corporate firewall so their corporate data is not subject to risk of loss, but building an impenetrable wall around corporate systems blocks the company’s ability to more tightly integrate with supply chain partners and customers, and reduces the company’s agility.

Secure On-Demand™overcomes these issues and creates new possibilities for communication and coordination with Customers, Partners and Suppliers.
