Case Study: Transfer of large software files from US to China
Problem:
A small development team within one of the world's largest enterprise software companies needed to collaborate on a new software development project. Half of the team was based in Silicon Valley and the other half was located at the offices of a software testing company in Beijing. They needed to send large amounts of data back and forth between each other and lacked the dedicated connections between the company and the third party supplier to facilitate the secure transfer of their sensitive files.
How FileTransfer.com Solved the Problem:
Seven partners working for a China-based industrial investment fund were in the process of raising money from institutional investors across various parts of the US and Europe.
The fund partners were working with a boutique investment bank in Connecticut to prepare the documents required by potential institutional investors. The fund partners found over time that they need to transfer progressively larger files between the US and China.
The fund only had seven partners, but they were clearly operating globally. On any given day fund partners needed to send information to investment bankers in Connecticut and institutional investors all across the world. They found themselves constantly jockeying among airports, hotel rooms and meeting boardrooms across three continents but were too small to justify maintaining servers in the US, Europe and China to house their information. They also lacked a mechanism to transfer large amounts of sensitive files around the world. The files contained sensitive information related to the fund structure and potential portfolio companies. The amount of data and the size of the files the fund partners need to move were growing.
Traditional solutions to move and store files were not an option. Sending multiple large email attachments was far too risky given the sensitive nature of the data. Email attachments were limited in the size of files that could be attached. Files included large PowerPoint presentations, historical financial records and portfolio company due diligence materials. Burning the information onto disks and sending them internationally via an overnight delivery service simply wasn't fast enough or cost effective. Other online file transfer and file storage offerings didn't offer the partners the visibility control over they files that they needed. These other online file transfer and file storage services lacked comprehensive logging and control of where data was uploaded to and storage.
FileTransfer.com proved to be the perfect solution for the fund partners. They were able to upload large data files locally to the FileTransfer.com server closest to them. This was a major time savor that allowed the fund partners to manage their information with just an Internet connection. FileTransfer.com saved them from having to depend on uploading data to remote FTP sites. Once the data files were uploaded, the fund partners had the flexibility to store the files on any FileTransfer.com server or to transfer the file to the server closest to the contact they needs to share the file with. The fund partners had all of the logging records required by the institutional records and the integrity of their files were ensured because FileTransfer.com encrypted all of their files.
