Case Study: Large American Shoe Manufacturer achieves secure IP collaboration and cost reductions with Vera

Defending intellectual property brand assets to enable secure collaboration internally & with global partners

Large American Shoe Manufacturer Company needed a replacement for WatchDox after low adoption, poor user feedback, and high maintenance costs. The company required a DRM solution that could protect complex design files (CAD, Adobe Creative Suite) while being intuitive for end users and flexible enough to DRM-enable SharePoint and other custom apps — a problem they engaged Vera to solve.

Vera deployed globally in under three months, integrated with Box to protect intellectual property across all major devices in more than 10 countries, and delivered strong end-user UX feedback. By migrating from WatchDox to Vera, the company significantly reduced user count and overall costs thanks to easier administration, and is now rolling out Vera’s SDK to protect 3D design documents throughout their lifecycle.
