(PRWEB) October 21, 2014

Zia Consulting, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Document Capture solutions, today announced their new strategic partnership with Covertix, the leader in Document Security for secure external collaboration. With today’s announcement, Zia will begin delivering Covertix Secure External Collaboration integrated with Alfresco ECM for any enterprise looking to protect documents shared with customers, partners, or any other outside party–whether that collaboration is via email, Alfresco Cloud, or even consumer sharing technologies such as Dropbox or Box.net.

In addition, Zia has now specifically embedded Covertix within their Secure ECM for Legal solutions, delivering the legal ECM systems that users want and IT needs. These solutions are targeted at Fortune 500 corporate legal departments and AmLaw 250 law firms. The solution will now allow for the secure sharing of legal documents with clients, opposing parties, and outside counsel.

“Over the past few years, we’ve seen a clear trend towards simplifying the external sharing of corporate information, including the adoption of consumer-quality cloud sharing technologies such as Dropbox or Box.net within the enterprise,” said Mike Mahon, CEO and co-founder of Zia Consulting. “Unfortunately, we have not seen a similar dedication towards securing those documents when they leave the organization, leading to what many have termed ‘the Dropbox problem’. With Covertix, we finally have the ability to address this issue, without the unrealistic expectation that we can get employees to stop using these technologies.”

Zia and Covertix will be at ARMA 2014 starting Sunday, October 25th, to discuss these solutions and to support the Alfresco ECM booth #1383. Specifically, they will host a Covertix Q&A session with Dr. Galina Datskovsky, Covertix CEO – North America and past president of ARMA on Sunday, October 25th at 4:30pm and Monday, October 26th at 12:30pm.

“We are pleased to have a strong partnership with Zia Consulting, a leading partner of Alfresco,” said Datskovsky. “Covertix extends Alfresco security beyond repository borders and this combined solution delivered through Zia is a winning formula to bring great value to the market.”
