•Is sending pdf files, such as quotes, legal docs and accounts, by email an issue then? This depends on how secure both yours and YOUR CUSTOMERS email systems are. Yours may be great, but what do you know about your customers email systems, and who they send your document forward to? • But we use cloud based storage for our documents. Cloud based systems exist such as Dropbox, Sugarsync and Apples MobileMe iDisk to access files on the road via the internet. But these are not really enterprise solutions. Unfortunately for UK based business there could be data protection issues using cloud services like this. For lawyers and accountants there could also be serious professional conduct issues. • So what is the problem with cloud computing? There isn’t one, providing you use a service that doesn’t breach the seventh and eighth data protection principles of the Data protection Act 1998. One of the main assets for any business, whatever the size, is knowledge. • And what is the solution? We can provide a Secure Collaboration & Managed File Transfer system that is both scalable and flexible and has options to link to Outlook, Sharepoint etc. This solution is acknowledged by Gartner to be the global leader in the field of secured file transport. We own our own data centre, which is UK based. We can also host many other applications for you, such as Microsoft Office and Sage accounts. No wonder that organizations such as HMRC, NHS, P&G, Lilly and many more use this solution. • How can I find out more?
