TOSS Selects Biscom Delivery Server for Its Hosted Secure File Transfer Solution

Biscom Delivery Server will help law firms protect their clients' data easily and cost effectively

     

Chelmsford, MA April 29, 2010 – Biscom Deliver Server (BDS), the secure file transfer (SFT) division of Biscom, Inc. (www.biscom.com) and the leading SFT vendor in the legal market, and TOSS® Corporation (http://www.toss.com), the premier provider of business continuity, disaster recovery, storage area networks, and virtualization solutions, today announced TOSS's choice of BDS to power GetSaaS SecureFiles™ (http://www.getsaas.com), a deployment of BDS as a hosted service. Using this SFT hosted service will give enterprises numerous advantages over on-premise approaches, including:  Rapid deployment, predictable cost, and improved scalability. To learn more about TOSS's GetSaaS SecureFiles and BDS's SFT capabilities, visit TOSS at the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA®) Annual Conference & Exposition, May 3-6, 2010, Booth # 514, at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center, Boston, MA.

The GetSaaS SecureFiles deployment of BDS as a hosted service will confer the following benefits upon enterprise users:

  • Rapid deployment – a ready-to-go pre-configured solution that can be turned on immediately
  • Affordable, predictable costs – a hosted service eliminates on-premise costs—hardware, software, storage, bandwidth, upgrades, patches, IT support. The predictable monthly subscription makes budgeting easy and shortens the procurement cycle.
  • Improved scalability – paying a flat fee per user allows expansion without disruption or added cost as the organization's needs grow

GetSaaS SecureFiles secures communications of all sizes in any organization, from one user to multi-department/multi-location enterprises, which needs employees to lock down their communications. Using a familiar email GUI, GetSaaS SecureFiles gives both technical and non-technical users a simple, intuitive approach to transmitting very large files:

  • A sender collects files, documents, and other electronic media
  • The sender creates a "package" of files, optionally enters a secure message, and addresses the delivery to one or more recipients
  • GetSaaS SecureFiles notifies recipients that a secure delivery arrived, automatically sending an email message containing an embedded hyperlink
  • Recipients sign on to GetSaaS SecureFiles
  • Once authenticated, recipients view the secure message and download the package
  • GetSaaS SecureFiles notifies sender that recipients downloaded and viewed the package

With a growing legal client base, including many of the AM LAW 200 firms, BDS has established a strong reputation for secure file transfer in the legal market," said Charlie Magliato, Legal Practice Manager at BDS, "so we're especially excited to be selected by TOSS to power their secure file transfer hosted service. We designed Biscom Delivery Server as the most advanced secure file transfer solution, one that meets the stringent file exchange requirements of today's complex legal environment, making it easy for users to send files of any size securely, and to track them every step of the way."

The comprehensive tracking and auditing function of GetSaaS SecureFiles helps users meet data privacy compliance requirements. Tracking and reporting tools enable organizations to monitor and audit the transfer and access of sensitive data. Managers and administrators, even without having access rights to the data, can track how direct reports use the data and audit for potential data breaches. GetSaaS SecureFiles also facilitates user authentication and management with Active Directory® and LDAP integration.

In addition, the GetSaaS SecureFiles Microsoft® Outlook® integration allows users to send large files from within Outlook without using the Exchange server. The Outlook add-in automatically re-routes attachments that exceed corporate policy limits through GetSaaS SecureFiles.

"Email, FTP, and overnight package delivery services no longer meet the needs of knowledge workers who exchange and transfer mission-critical business information," said Greg Hanna, President & CEO, TOSS. "Each lacks the security, management, and auditing required in today's digital world, where data breaches can mean lost time and money, and more importantly, a tarnished reputation. Using TOSS's GetSaaS SecureFiles powered by BDS as a hosted service resolves all these concerns for clients."
