RepliWeb Co-Sponsors Aberdeen Group Study on Managed File Transfer

Secure / Managed File Transfer: Why Best-in-Class Companies are Saying it's a "Must Have"

A new study released by Aberdeen Group and co-sponsored by RepliWeb Inc. details the reasons why Secure, Managed File Transfer is recognized as an essential function in "best in class" organizations.

According to the study, security and usability concerns surrounding FTP and email-based file transport have driven leading, "best in class" organizations to adopt managed file transfer solutions in order to secure confidential and proprietary data. Secure, managed file transfer is a ubiquitous need – failure to adopt can result in data loss, lost productivity, and administrative headaches.

"The demand for secure, managed file transfer is exploding", says Carol Baroudi, senior research analyst at Aberdeen. "So many different pressures are all pointing in one direction. New functionality for both traditionally scheduled file transfers and ad hoc file transfers is changing business processes and saving organizations money."

The study found that:

83% of "best in class" organizations use a secure file transfer solution
76% of "best in class" organizations use managed file services, versus 23% of "industry laggards"
45% of Best-in-Class organizations decreased the total number of data loss incidents versus 0% of Laggard organizations.

Beyond the need for data protection, file transfer is integral to business processes. Research found that improving these processes can lead to cost savings and increased customer satisfaction / retention.
