Send and store critical documents securely

Email is a critical business tool that most New Zealand business cannot operate without.  The ease and convenience of sending documents and attaching files means there is typically no control around the content and the size of the files that get attached.

MPAs experience shows that the additional load of large attachments in sent email boxes causes the Exchange servers performance to suffer, whilst the cost of the storage and backup requirements increases exponentially. An additional concern is that there is no security or audit trail on the content of the attachments, which can potentially mean important documents being sent insecurely.

Accellion Managed File Transfer is a technology that is used to ensure compliance, protect the transfer of intellectual property, improve business productivity and reduce costs technology.  It integrates with Microsoft Exchange so files of a predetermined size are sent securely via SSL from the Accellion appliance to defined recipients. This reduces the storage and backup requirement for Exchange, whilst providing a secure audited medium to send large files.

In New Zealand organisations such as TVNZ have implemented Accellion Managed File Transfer. In TVNZ case they determined that through using Accellion, they have achieved a higher level of security and compliance, whilst reducing the load on their Exchange server.
