7. 7 Limitations of RMS The following issues are limitations of RMS for ValueOptions users:  RMS only works with Microsoft Office products – Outlook 2003, Word 2003, Excel 2003, and PowerPoint 2003 are items that can be RMS protected within ValueOptions.  RMS works only with ValueOptions users or those with Windows Live accounts– RMS locked documents can not be used to send to other organizations outside of ValueOptions, unless the target has a Windows Live account and are setup for RMS already proper authentication or support cannot be guaranteed outside of VO personnel however.

8. 8 In closing - The benefits of using RMS Today’s easy distribution of digital content allows sensitive information to reach people who were never intended to receive it. Rights Management service (RMS) helps you prevent sensitive information from getting into the hands of the wrong people, whether by accident or carelessness. RMS essentially helps you control your files even after they have left your desktop! Ensure privacy and security with your co-workers on sensitive information files and emails. Restrict e-mail with internal ValueOptions employees to “read only” “Do not forward” or “ReadOnly-NoPrint-NoForward” Restrict Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files read/write ability and email/print possibilities.
