HitachiSoft Invests In Lattice Technology

HitachiSoft, the software development company of the Hitachi Group, is among the leading IT service companies in the world. The recent purchase of 800 shares makes the Japanese company the second largest owner of Lattice Technology's stock.

This investment strengthens a pre-existing partnership between Lattice Technology and HitachiSoft. Together, the companies are developing solutions for 3D data security based on the Lattice Technology XVL format.

Growth of XVL

The spread of 3D data with the highly compressed and accurate XVL format has generated a demand for data security. A partnership between Lattice Technology and HitachiSoft was formed to develop new solutions for XVL-based 3D data security.

"The investment from HitachiSoft further strengthens Lattice Technology and ensures that we can continue to develop industry-leading software to meet the evolving 3D data needs of our customers," said Bill Barnes, general manager, Lattice Technology. "This is an exciting time to be in the 3D graphics market and investors like HitachiSoft enable us to grow both our products and our company."

Lattice Technology's ultra compressed XVL format provides best in class memory efficiency and display speed for security applications.

Improvements to XVL Studio

Lattice Technology plans to incorporate improved security features to XVL Studio Version 7.0, slated for release this year. Using Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management allows granular control of access rights to 3D data for internal and external data sharing, including the revision control and expiration of distributed data and logging of unauthorized access attempts.

With growing partnerships, continued research into 3D data security solutions and upcoming improvements to XVL Studio, Lattice Technology is taking bold steps as a software developer in an increasingly competitive manufacturing and graphic industry.
