Enterprise DRM that Doesn't Suck

We know the problem. Enterprise level Digital Rights Management usually means that I can encrypt something, (usually MSFT Office or PDF), but then when I try to share it with someone who should be able to access it I waste a boat load of time trying to get them access and eventually I just send the data in clear text and tell them not to share it. Uh-oh
EDRM sucks or even worse puts me in a position of being out of compliance with internal security policies or even worse . . . governmental regulations. Now to be clear, I have never done anything like this. I am simply giving it as an example of what I have heard from others . . . right? In today’s hyperconnected world I need to be able to share/collaborate securely with people in the extended enterprise, partners, etc. anytime, anywhere and on any device, 24/7. . . is that too much to ask? Oh and by the way, my life is more than just Microsoft Office and PDF documents, I need to share lot's of different file types . . . you know the drill.
Oh last but not least, I need the EDRM to be automatic, seamless, and deeply integrated with SAP, since that is where most of this work happens for me.

7yBo Baade-Pedersen I totally agree! Business need Visibility into user access and would like track anomali ..
.... And even worse, you need to be able to document where, who, and what was shared......
