CA has a product called eTrust Secure Content Manager, maybe that's what
he's referring to..? Seems to be Windows only though, which means nice
frontend and no backend.

Get the PowerPoint that sold him (when it's managers it's always
PowerPoint) and check it out. Usually it's a mix of bold exaggerations,

themselves to another product, then that's the one you want to check out
no matter what they say about it. ;-)
