“There are real security concerns with the use of free mobile file-sharing and synchronization platforms by business users who need anytime access to enterprise data,” said Chris Hazelton, Research Director, Mobile and Wireless at 451 Research. “In place of consumer-based offerings, IT needs to provide alternatives that offer control and management capabilities to protect confidential information. Providing these enterprise-grade services to government and business users, especially those in regulated industries, will ensure much-needed awareness and control of corporate data that moves across the multiple devices that employees use today.”
As a welcome enterprise-class alternative to free consumer-grade file sharing and syncing solutions such as Dropbox, Accellion provides enterprise, business and individual users with ease of use and simplicity in addition to increased security features, including most importantly IT and Security controls and management of users and privileges to address mobile security.
“The influx of personal smartphones and tablets into enterprise organizations is threatening information security as IT and Security teams scramble to address BYOD and Mobile Security,” said Yorgen Edholm, CEO of Accellion. “Balancing employee demand for increased mobile access while ensuring enterprise-class security and control is now possible with Accellion Secure Mobile File Sharing Solutions.”
“Everything we do is based on a collaborative, team-based approach, so we needed a solution that supported this philosophy,” said Noman Ahmed of Halsall Associates. “Now, we don’t have to think twice about how to share documents. Accellion is the go-to source for all external interactions. We are looking forward to implementing Accellion’s new sync features especially with mobile devices.”
The Accellion Mobile File Sharing solutions all include Accellion Mobile Apps and the new Accellion kitedrive sync capability that provides secure cloud storage, file sharing and sync for business users. In addition, the Accellion Mobile File Sharing Solution for Business provides secure collaboration features including secure workspaces, commenting, notifications, versioning, and secure uploads and downloads.
