Does IBM really know what they are talking about?

Here they write "While other electronic forms vendors embrace XML standards, PureEdge remains the only electronic forms developer whose products do not tie customers to use of proprietary Windows-centric technologies."

Passwords Alone Don't Protect Trade Secrets

Another proof that technology alone is not enough to keep important information secret; we'll have to establish policies and processes that explain people the meaning of tagging informaton confidential. Passwords Alone Don't Protect Trade Secrets : " A court ruled that simply password-protecting a file isn't enough to make it a trade secret. "
