The Challenge

Today’s smartphones and tablet business users need to be able to collaborate and view different file types, edit and share files from a secure, encrypted location.

The Solution

Accellion Mobile Apps for Apple iOS (iPhone and iPad), BlackBerry, and Android devices deliver a superior alternative to cumbersome browser-based apps. Once users have downloaded the mobile application, they can simply login and begin browsing their workspace to find and view relevant content using a simple, intuitive interface. With the right privileges, users have the flexibility to edit a file either online or download the encrypted file for offline use (without a wifi or data connection), and then upload the edited file back to the Accellion Secure Workspace.

The Customer Rave

“We could have easily allowed employees to use consumer grade solutions that, on the surface, would have gotten the job done,” comments Shawn Schmidt, Infrastructure Manager with Allens Linklater (formerly Allens Arthur Robinson) an Accellion customer. “But, we knew our firm and our clients needed something they could trust and rely on.”
 

What It Does

From a data security perspective, Accellion Secure Mobile Apps ensure the protection of intellectual property and compliance with industry and government regulations. Accellion Secure Mobile Apps support LDAP authentication to ensure that only authorized users gain access to Accellion Secure Workspaces, which allow teams to securely collaborate and keep projects moving forward by enabling users to view, comment, share, sync and send files. Users can securely access files from anywhere without a VPN.

Last Word

“While mobile collaboration is allowing organizations to significantly improve productivity, many solutions in the market are creating security issues that could expose users to data leakage and compliance challenges,” observes Yorgen Edholm, president and CEO of Accellion, Inc. “Other offerings sacrifice protection for market entry.  We provide our customers with a secure mobile app business users can use from wherever and whenever with confidence.”
