Join our webcast to learn how a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution can drastically reduce the risks associated with sensitive company files being shared between people. Ipswitch’s Tony Perri will explain and demonstrate how to extend the visibility, management and enforcement of MFT to include person-to-person file transfer, both within and outside your organization. In this webcast, we will discuss:

  • 40% of organizations don’t give their employees a secure way to share large or confidential files
  • Why tools such as personal webmail, USB drives, smartphones and file sharing websites are dangerous for sending company information
  • 75% of surveyed employees send classified documents as email attachments – including payroll, customer data and financial information
  • How to improve employee productivity and simplify collaboration while at the same time mitigate security and compliance concerns
  • Why you need visibility into what is being sent, by whom and with whom
  • How to give employees a secure way to quickly send files to other people using their browser or Outlook
After Tony’s presentation and demo, we’ll be holding a live Q&A session to answer your questions!
We’ve scheduled two convenient times for this webcast, so please register for the one that works best for you – and we hope to see you there!

That’s right. Get ready to say goodbye to cloud computing.

Not the hosting and using of services over the Internet, oh no. I’m talking about the term “Cloud Computing.”

Well, that’s just one of John Soat’s “Five Predictions Concerning Cloud Computing

What are the five predictions?

  • All applications will move into the cloud.
  • Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) will supplant software-as-a-service (SaaS) as the most important form of cloud computing for small and, especially, mid-size businesses.
  • Private clouds will be the dominant form of cloud computing in large enterprises
  • Hybrid clouds eventually will dominate enterprise IT architectures
  • The term “cloud computing” will drop off the corporate lexicon.

This is a fun and engaging read, and the comments afterward are equally as interesting. Worth checking out.

Tax season is behind us (at least for most of us) and we can all give a sigh of relief… but can we? This year, getting my taxes organized and handing them to my accountant seemed to be more difficult than usual. Fortunately for me, the Federal Government gave certain areas that were dealing with flooding a small extension that allowed me to find the time to pass my taxes into my accountant.

Once that task was completed, I was able to relax except for the fact I now had one day to get back into the accountant’s office and sign the documents for them to send to the IRS.

Groove had been around for a few years when heard about it from a friend as this awesome new collaboration technology. Man, did I need something like this for the project I had recently taken on. I set up a Groove account for myself and a group of academics collaborating to publish a series of social science research reports investigating “Global Road Traffic Safety.” The deadline for submissions to the intended academic journal selected by this group of collaborators had already been extended and extended before I joined the party. It was slow going. My objectives for using Groove was to speed up the review cycles and document version of control for…

  • More than a dozen research papers,
  • Being reviewed by half-dozen social science researchers,
  • Who were scattered across as many continents and twice as many university and governmental institutions.
