First a short intro to Accellion – based in Palo Alto with 2000+ enterprise customers representing 12 million + enterprise users and we focus on providing secure mobile file sharing solutions
At any one time in an enterprise company there are multiple office, suppliers, partners and customers. Typical projects highlighted in orange have many contributors involved from a variety of locations. If we were to highlight a couple of these projects we can clearly see the contributors and see the need for a central area or workspace to manage the workflow and content. The problem is that in the 1st and 2nd dimensions, these workspaces were behind a corporate firewall making it very difficult for 3rd parties to access them.
The cloud offers us a much simpler way for physically separated locations to collaborate together. Instead of worry about multiple connection types, you can focus on some key ones that are repeated e.g. SharePoint, File Shares, iPad, browser. Create a new access type? Integrate it once into the cloud! BUT what if you don’t want your content in the cloud?
Organization-wide support for mobile file sharing and collaboration via a wide-range of mobile devices, operating systems and platforms Extend existing IT investments by enabling secure mobile access to any documents within SharePoint and integration with MobileIron’s MDM solutionMaintain visibility into, track and report on all mobile file sharing activities to meet regulatory requirements
Started two years ago. They wanted to mobilize their wokforce and were a bit ahead of their time.They didn’t want to copy their SharePoint content to all devices.These requirements are very typical for most enterprise organisations, most of you want the same
This is the solution we developed for Verizon…At the core is the Accellion private cloud file sharing solution
Choose an architecture for your needs. Private cloud, public cloud or a hybrid. Build a policy that ensures the right people have access to the right data.Enable mobile for multiple platforms, BYOD is only going to grow, but don’t forget the PCCreate a culture of collaboration internally and externally. Be open - you don’t yet know all the ways this platform will be used.It’s ok to share, sensibly.
