A retrospective.

Don't forget to go to the bottom to see what Accellion has been up to

Oh-my, oh-my, oh-my! From the modest Hello, World entry on May 10, 2006, this posting will mark the one year anniversary for the ACA Guy! This is an excellent time for a quick retrospective on the business issues, solutions, and examples covered in the past year. Maybe you’ll see something here to solve your business problems and spark your interest in Accellion's secure file transfer solution!
Overworked email systems clogged up with large attachments
This is probably the number one reason why companies come calling on Accellion. Their email systems are pushed to the breaking point by the many large attachments that are increasingly common in most business processes. These email attachments are causing systematic impact on the entire infrastructure. And, more important, by rendering the email system -- the number one productivity tool for most enterprises -- ineffective, this is no longer an IT issue but a business problem.
Some email administrators try to solve the issue by imposing file size limitations. Rather than solving a problem, it just exacerbates the headache when end users can’t complete their business processes that require the transfer of files to and from other people.
Accellion's secure file transfer solution complements your existing email infrastructure and lets end users send files/folders of any size without IT intervention.

Security and compliance requirements also apply to file transfer processes
Gone are the nonchalant days when workers can send information in an open and unsecured way. Now security and compliance mandates are pushing every organizations to ask questions like: “If I send this confidential business plan via email, could it be seen by the wrong people?”, “I need to post patient information on a FTP server for a consulting doctor, but does that meet HIPAA regulations?”, “How can our lawyers send us information about the case on trial?”
Security and privacy for business processes that involve file transfer are key considerations for adopting the Accellion solution.

Users need the ability to run business processes without asking IT for permission or help every time.
Technology should be an enabler, not a stumbling block for knowledge workers. An end-user should not have to request permission to have a larger file size limit in email, to post a file to an FTP server, or to receive a large file from someone outside the company. What’s more, the IT department shouldn’t get bogged down handling these kinds of requests.
How to get out of this rut? Implement a file transfer technology like Accellion's that is easy for everyone to use – including authorized people who are outside the company.
