Biscom Announces LDAP and Active Directory Integration for Managed File Transfer Solution

Chelmsford, MA - May 30, 2007 – Biscom Inc., a leading provider of enterprise fax and secure document delivery solutions, today announced LDAP and Active Directory integration for its Biscom Delivery Server managed file transfer solution. Biscom Delivery Server is a Web application that facilitates secure delivery of files and messages with delivery notification and a complete audit trail.

Directory services integration provides the benefit of greatly simplified user administration, including addition and deletion of users, management of user permissions, and user authentication. Enterprises that manage users through directory services can now implement Biscom Delivery Server and manage user authentication and roles within the same central, organized, accessible database with which they manage all other network components.

“When working with our larger customers with thousands or tens of thousands of users, LDAP and AD integration is a requirement,” said Gene Hill, CEO of Computercraft Corporation. “Being able to manage and update scores of users with a single operation is critical. And we really appreciate the fact that the schema needs no modification.”

The Biscom Delivery Server http://www.biscom.com/Secure-File-Delivery/delivery-server.htm provides secure file transfer and guaranteed document delivery for organizations that need to transfer large files, or keep their data secure and satisfy compliance requirements, without the inherent limitations of email and FTP. With LDAP and Active Directory support, enterprises can deploy secure delivery services to their entire organization and integrate BDS into their existing processes quickly and easily.

“Directory services integration is a natural evolution for BDS to address enterprise-wide file transfer requirements,” said Bill Ho, VP Internet Products for Biscom. “Enterprises are looking to minimize the separate user management of their applications, so providing support for directory services in BDS reduces the issues of multiple user databases.”

Biscom Delivery Server offers Web and email interfaces, MFP integration for secure delivery of paper documents, and a Java and Web services API toolkit for application development.
