Used by more than three million people worldwide, the Metadata Assistant is the leading metadata removal tool available on the market today. Metadata Assistant, first introduced in 1998, has won several "shoot outs" in product comparison tests and is deployed in law firms, corporations and government agencies around the world. “We hear repeatedly that our customer service is unparalleled, which is a tremendous selling point for firms selecting a metadata cleaning product,” says Shirley Gorman, PayneGroup’s Vice President of Customer Relations.
Metadata Assistant 3.0 includes several new features and functions:
• New user interface – easier to read and navigate results windows as well as new help files
• Increased speed and improved performance – faster processing (up to 60%) and the ability to launch multiple instances of the Metadata Assistant process without affecting performance
• New e-mail integration – improved options that take the guess work out of streamlining the send/clean process
• Configurable cleaning process – new ways to select a different cleaning process for each attachment in an e-mail
• Improved file handling – better handling of Microsoft Office files stored in .zip attachments, Outlook messages with embedded e-mails, and new detection and cleaning of .pdf files.
“The updated version of Metadata Assistant has been built with new features and improved functions to address the evolving security and document protection needs of our user community,” stated Donna Payne, CEO, PayneGroup. Prior to the release, the new version was aggressively tested and piloted by a select group of client firms intent on bringing a new product to market that is ready to use from day one without spending a lot of time working through bugs and technical issues.”
