Frustrated by an inability to simply send and receive large business documents, organizations are turning their attention to secure/managed file transfer that can seamlessly strip the big file from the email and insert a link in its place, allowing the receiver to simply download the file. New research from Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), shows that pressure is mounting to solve the daily challenge of sending large files that are not supported by typical email technologies.

For decades secure file transfer has been in the domain of IT which oversaw regularly scheduled transfers of large amounts of data. Aberdeen’s recent research shows that the daily need to move large files exceeds the expectations for the demand on system administration and causes delays that are problematic for the business.

"People are finding ways around the email problem," says research director Carol Baroudi of the Aberdeen Group. "The danger lies in the ad hoc sharing of files without regard to data protection. There’s widespread legitimate demand — organizations need to recognize the need and put in appropriate controls."

Ease of use and dramatic cost savings are spurring long time users of secure file transfer to evaluate new offerings. In many cases, organizations can get out from onerous fees and even experience better service. New accelerating solutions can dramatically cut the time needed for lengthy file transfers.
