In today's cost-conscious environment, neither public organizations nor private corporations want to buy information they do not need. Thomas Lipscomb specializes in creating systems for the secure distribution, marketing, control, and auditing of digital information, one of the most vital issues in cyberspace today. Organizations can discover which information resources are being used and which ones they can do without. Through metered delivery, they also can pay only for those resources that are used. This approach to information delivery also allows access to portions of information for individuals who can not afford to purchase an entire data set. Infosafe Syetems has received three industry awards for the technology that Mr. Lipscomb co-invented. Don't miss the chance to learn about this innovative approach to information management.
