FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PANDESA AND CHAPERON PARTNER TO PROVIDE SECURE ONLINE SERVICES FOR SOURCE CODE INSPECTION AND RELATED DOCUMENT REVIEW
San Jose, CA, August 8, 2008 — Pandesa Corporation, of Los Gatos, CA, and Chaperon, LLC, of Louisville, CO, today announced a partnership to provide customers with a complete, secure online service for source code inspection and document sharing. The service includes Chaperon’s Secure Source Code Inspecting Station and Pandesa’s ShareVault™ virtual data room, supporting due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, litigation discovery and project sizing/scoping. This will allow multiple parties to review confidential intellectual property documents and software source code using a secure environment and internet connection.
“This partnership will allow customers secure access to source code IP, something that was previously only available on PDF documents,” said Richard Andersen, CEO of Pandesa Corporation. “Chaperon Secure Inspecting Station will give our customers the ability to navigate and search the source code files using powerful, yet easy to use graphical user interfaces.”
Chaperon Secure Inspecting Station can be used to browse, view, and inspect source code Intellectual Property (IP) while making it virtually impossible to copy or pirate it. Source code is fully protected during shipment and transport within the secure development environment. Only authorized parties can inspect the code. The solution allows for the IP owner to add and/or update the source code and for multiple parties to inspect the code simultaneously from multiple geographic locations, eliminating the cost of travel or expensive network connections.
“Pandesa’s ShareVault secure, on-demand virtual data room for multiple party access to supporting documentation complements our source code security model,” said Ashif Dhanani, CEO and President of Chaperon, LLC. “Together, we can offer a unique solution that will enable customers to securely host both documents and source code for litigation e-discovery and due diligence processes in connection with sell-side M&A.”
