Biscom Co-Sponsors Research Study on Corporate Demand for Secure/Managed File Transfer

Chelmsford, Mass – October 28, 2008 – Biscom Delivery Server (BDS), "The Trusted Solution for Enterprise Secure File Transfer," today announced that it is a proud co-sponsor of the Aberdeen Group research report: "Secure/Managed File Transfer: Why Best-in-Class Companies are saying it's a Must-Have."

Research shows that pressures are mounting surrounding new demands for secure file transfer from new types of users. For decades secure file transfer has been in the domain of IT which oversaw regularly scheduled transfers of large amounts of data. New research shows that the need to move large files has become an everyday occurrence in the normal course of doing business.

"The danger lies in the ad hoc sharing of files without regard to data protection," says Carol Baroudi, research director at Aberdeen. "There's widespread legitimate demand – organizations need to put in appropriate controls."

"Secure/managed file transfer continues to burgeon as critical core business processes across many different industries and concerns associated with email attachments and FTP servers force IT departments to seek alternative ways to securely send large files," says Bill Ho, Vice President of Internet Products at Biscom.

Ease of use and dramatic cost savings are spurring long time users of file transfer to evaluate new offerings. In many cases, organizations can get out from onerous fees and even experience better service.
