SEATTLE – April 26, 2010 – Attachmate Corporation in conjunction with Realtime Publishers today announced the availability of “The Shortcut Guide to Eliminating Insecure and Unreliable File Transfer Methods,” a new book which provides a practical outline of what organizations should consider when evaluating file transfer solutions. The book, part of the “Shortcut Guide Series,” offers expert guidance for organizations looking to deploy advanced file transfer solutions. It will be available on Attachmate’s Web site. In addition, the electronic version of the book will be offered online at no charge to readers from the Realtime Nexus Digital Library.
Additionally, Attachmate today launched a corporate blog called “Data In Motion.” Focused on managed file transfer (MFT) technology and related topics, the blog will provide industry insight and tips for deploying MFT solutions.
Today, businesses are increasingly faced with the challenge of confidently exchanging data in motion over public networks. In fact, industry analysts estimate the advanced file transfer market is growing at a rate of approximately 26 percent a year. However, basic file transfer solutions are inherently limited and many of these solutions lack the management, control and integration capabilities needed to support today’s challenging business environment. “The Shortcut Guide to Eliminating Insecure and Unreliable File Transfer Methods” offers insight on the limits and shortcomings of home grown file transfer solutions and outlines the key business drivers that are motivating organizations to better manage file transfers.
“At a time when businesses are justifiably concerned about security and regulatory compliance, insecure and unreliable file transfer methods are coming under scrutiny,” explained author Dan Sullivan. “Fortunately, as readers will learn in ‘The Shortcut Guide to Eliminating Insecure and Unreliable File Transfer Methods,’ there are options that meet crucial compliance, scalability and reliability requirements.”
In addition to discussing the importance of file transfer, the book outlines criteria for selecting an advanced file transfer solution and practical tips for deploying these technologies.
“Many businesses are closely evaluating whether or not to integrate MFT technology into their overall IT strategy,” said Sam Morris, product marketing manager of Attachmate. “We hope this book and blog will serve as valuable guides for organizations looking at the benefits of advanced file transfer solutions beyond security, reliability and accountability. MFT delivers enhanced operational efficiencies through automation, streamlined file processing and notifications – all critical elements to an enterprise’s file transfer strategy.”
