Web Sites are the New Throwaway TUX Communications Selects Evertrust Web for Web Site Content Protection

Web sites are not being preserved. Most companies could not recreate their web site from one year ago. Evertrust Web is a service that archives web sites for protection against intellectual property theft, needless litigation and assists with compliance regulations.

Lafayette (PRWEB) May 1, 2003 -April 29, 2003 -- Millions of dollars are spent on hardware, software and people to construct web sites that communicate an organizations image to the world, but little is spent on preserving the web site. It would take most companies weeks to reconstruct what was on their web site a year ago, if they could do it at all.

Companies have not bothered to establish an archiving solution for their entire web site. By not having records of what was published on a web site a company exposes themselves to potential copyright infringement, needless litigation and questions concerning regulatory compliance. TUX Communications, a Toronto based software company, was aware of these potential problems and chose Evertrust Web to authoritatively archive their web site.

Evertrust Web provides a permanent record and historical evidence in the event of digital document theft or copyright infringement. Evertrust Web is the only solution to digitally time-stamp and digitally sign all their Web site assets as well as offer the option of registering their site with the U.S. Copyright Office.

We rely heavily on our Web site to convey our message to the public. In order to remain competitive, our Web site content must remain dynamic," said Karen Heater, president and CEO of TUX Communications. The beauty of the Internet is that it makes information so easily available, but with this comes increased vulnerability especially from copyright infringement from competitors. We needed a process in place that would guarantee that our copyrights were properly registered."

Evertrust Web is a service that downloads Web sites on a daily basis. Each page, graphic or digital asset is then time-stamped and digitally signed. This provides a permanent record of when something was first published to the Web as well as when a page, graphic or file was changed. Monthly, Evertrust.net provides customers with their daily time-stamped archives of their Web site on CD-ROM. Quarterly, Evertrust.net provides the option of registering Web sites, copyrights and intellectual property through the U.S. Copyright Office.

With Evertrust Web, TUX Communications is able to cost-effectively keep authoritative records of their Web site and digital files on a regular basis without putting unnecessary burdens on their IT department," said Thomas F. Gosnell, president and CEO of Evertrust.net.
